Researcher's Note* 
The marriage record of Alexander Valentine to Mary Gray Ramsay indicates date of December 29, 1899. The marriage occurred at St. Thomas Street, Arbroath, Scotland. The parents of Alexander Valentine were Alexander Valentine (Sailmaker) and Ann Travers. The parents of Mary Gray Ramsay were John Ramsay (General Laborer, deceased) and Ann Lyon. Alexander was 23 years of age and lived at 8 Shore St., Arbroath, Scotland. He was a General Laborer. Mary was 21 years old, and lived at 5 St. Thomas Street, Arbroath, Scotland. She was a Reeler in a Flax Mill.

I cannot locate death records for either Alexander or Mary Valentine, nor marriage record of Alexander (son). Therefore, I checked on the United States websites, and found a family in Alameida California in 1910 who emigrated from Scotland, have the same names, along with similar birth dates who I believe are this family. These include Alexander Valentine (age 33), Mary (age 32) and Alexander (age 9). Alexander and Mary had been married for 10 years. The family immigrated in 1907. Alexander worked in a hardware store.8
