May I interject a question here?

Since Allan starts his life as a cotton broker and since Dallas in that period was a force to be reckoned with in the sphere of cotton, does anyone know anything about the commodity's history that could place either or both of them in Texas in 1913?

John Wallis Shores is the brother of Sarah Ann Shores, Alexander Strachan Molison's second wife - here they are on the 1871 census:

John Wallis Shores abt 1825  Poplar, Middlesex, England Head
Charles Latham Shores abt 1854  Poplar, Middlesex, England Son 
Duncan Dunbar Shores abt 1856  Worthing, Sussex, England Son   
Sarah Ann Shores abt 1837  Poplar, Middlesex, England Sister 
Emily Frances Ede abt 1842  Clapham, Sussex, England Servant
Mary Knight abt 1842  Worthing, Sussex, England Servant 

So Sarah Ann married Alexander Strachan Molison, and her niece Justina married Alexander's son Duncan Dunbar Molison.  Note that Justina also has a brother named Duncan Dunbar Shores - the original Duncan Dunbar was a business partner of Alexander Molison.
