Alexander Milne

[Alders]

Hello,
I'm trying to find out more info on this chap
Alexander Milne b 1845  Strathmiglo to Charles Milne & Jane Brown

Is there likely to have been UK will especially given the gazette article?
 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28314/page/9281/data.pdf
according to a newspaper article he married a woman called Sahama Nasakay in Kobe but i can't find a record of that.

Hope you can help

Yes, there is a will annexed to the grant of administration. You can search the probate database and order a copy of the will online (cost £10.00).

I did thank you :-)

Thank you all, strange that none of his children are mentioned. Do you think that's because they were half Japanese? A newspaper article on his death said he had several children and that his wife & 2 sons were chief mourners at his funeral.

Are you referring to the names given in reply #2? That is an extract from the Probate Calendar. It lists the people charged with the administration of the estate. It does not list the people who benefited from the will. To find that information you will need to purchase a copy of the will -- see my reply #4 above.
