I've just been on SP again and using 1904 only as his birthyear I got only 2 matches between 1930-1980 but didn't use his mothers name

I narrowed it down and one was in 1961 and the other in 1980

Hmm, definitely not our Alexander, then. Thank you for looking, though.

The 2 matches for 1961 and 1980, do they relate to death certificates? I don't know why his mother's name wouldn't be on the cert...He went into the orphanage aged 10, with his older sister, so he would be old enough to remember.

Sorry for being a bit thick. i just re-read your post about not using the mother's name.

Just a quick update to say that i have discovered that Alec died at Ochil Hills Sanatorium in 1931, from TB. Sad way to solve the mystery, but at least we know.
