If you pick up on this I may be able to help you with Alexander Kerr McMaster.
I was going through some posts relating to Catherine Ryan and you popped up, I know you helped me in the beginning with Catherine, cant trace you now though.

Hi Sue,
It was lovely to read your post about Wallace McMillan married to Catherine Ryan, my great aunt. Sad to hear of her untimely death also. I have pm-ed you but you haven’t picked it up.

I would love to have a picture of Catherine’s sons or grandchildren but I don’t know how to go about tracing them. Can you help?

I think Wallace looked like a lovely person, and I am not surprised Catherine fell for him. Here is a lovely thought for you. Catherine was Scottish and came from near Stirling, where the Wallace Monument is built, high on a hill. William Wallace was a defender of Scotland and a great hero for us.
Catherine lived practically directlyunder the Wallace Monument. It was central in her life.  How wonderful she found someone in a foreign country who she could relate to, a little piece of home in a strange place?
I would love to catch up with you Sue! I hope you pick up on this message! Best regards Kathy
