Suspect the brother of Alexander was called John Gordon.

Aberdeen Press and Journal 30 June 1938 has a photo of John Gordon Stewart , son of John H Stewart, principal science teacher Peterhead Academy. He won an open bursary in the Aberdeen University Arts competition.

Likely birth 1920 Peterhead and death notice in the Press and Journal 24 March 1977 -aged 56 of Alderley Edge, Cheshire.

Spot on, Millmoor.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you so much to everyone for all your help!! This community never fails to amaze me  :)

I'm not sure why I was having so much trouble - it always seems the way with your own searches doesn't it! You've given me some fantastic jumping off points, and I've been able to share things with our family previously uknown.

Thank you so much!!
