Hope someone can help, my brain has frazzled.

I know that my father Alexander Page-Robertson (1918-1959) and his mother Mary Page-Robertson (Gourock and Glasgow residents) sailed from Liverpool on the ‘Alondra’ for the Canary Isles on 9th October 1926. Dad’s grandmother was a Mary Turnbull, 1849-1932, her maiden name, so if she was a passenger she would have been listed as Page-Robertson as well.
On the Passenger list is a Mrs M M Turnbull and a Mr or Master A F? N?  Turnbull, aged 19, address 9 Bank St. Hillhead Glasgow. When I search Valuations Roll, there is entry Alexander Turnbull (P & O) THE HERITABLE CREDITORS OF MESSRS. DEMPSTER & DALZELL at that address, but it’s listed as ‘Govan’ not ‘Hillhead’.
Are these Turnbulls related to me or is it a coincidence they were on the same ship?
I have a photo of Dad on a pony in the Canary Islands, the reins held by a young man, who I wonder might be the 19 year old mentioned. I grew up with the story that ‘Cousin Alex Turnbull” was Dad’s favourite relative growing up. I’m hoping to get a positive link to those Turnbulls, so I can pursue that line. I come from a one child only for 3 generations, so there are not too many of us to look for, but I’m hopeful the Turnbull line should be going on, somewhere, perhaps still in Glasgow.

The list of residents includes a Jannet Robertson, 20, with the letters F.S. in the next column. What might F.S. stand for

Apologies to all if, as I suspect, I have previously posted similar requests in the past, but perhaps someone who might be new to Rootschat will see it and be able to help me further.

July 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of my late father Alexander Page-Robertson. I’m in my 70’s and I want to leave an accurate record of my father’s war service in the Merchant Navy for my grandchildren while I still have a few wits about me. After considerable effort I finally got an Arctic Star from the UK Government in recognition of Dad's service on the Russian Convoys, (and also via eBay two of the medals from the Russian Government, issued many decades earlier, who give more accolades than the UK had ever given to these heroes. Until recently these Convoy War Veterans were not even allowed to wear the Russian Medals in “Official” parades!)
A few years ago I made a long overdue visit from Melbourne Australia, back home to Scotland and was able to see the Russian Government’s relatively modest Convoy exhibit at Edinburgh Castle, which had a few photos I hadn’t seen before, and some very interesting audio clips from survivors.
But my search now is for more specific information.
Once the ill-fated PQ17 Arctic Convoy was deserted by, let’s be charitable and call them ’the powers that be’ in England, (even Churchill eventually labelling it the worst naval disaster in British history), where did Alex, who was  on the Rescue Ship SS ‘Zaafaran’ (I think as 3rd Mate), end up when the ship was sunk? He and the many other souls on board, mostly already survivors of earlier brutal sinkings in frigid waters, were taken on board their sister Rescue Ship ‘Zamalek’.
So where did Zamalek take them?
Was it to Murmansk or some other Russian port? For how long? How, and when, were they repatriated to UK?
Like so many thousands of others, at age 24 in a camp in Russia he without doubt contracted the TB that finally killed him at 40.
I’d like any information or links that anyone can provide.

My grandfather Gerald Alfred Slater’s sister Winifred Eva Boyd Slater, was born 24 April 1892, in Streatham, possibly Kempton Villas, Eardley Rd.
Her father Robert Slater, butcher, born 1856 appears in the 1901 census along with his wife Bertha 38, daughter Daisy M Slater 7, and son Gerald A Slater, 4. But there is no mention of Winifred in this or in the 1911 census for the family (where two more sons have been added), and yet I believe she had a long life and died in 1982 in Wandsworth.
I found a 1911 census entry online for a Winifred Eva “Boyce” Slater, Llanelly Urban, Caernarvonshire Wales. The combination of names is VERY similar, so I wonder if the slight difference in ‘Boyd’ to ‘Boyce’ is just a transcription error. (Her sister Daisy sometimes appears in transcriptions as 'Daisy Amy' and at other times as 'Daisy May', so I guess errors do happen!)
Has any one got any suggestions where I could look for more details?

Searching for the burial places of my grandfather Alexander Page-Robertson (sometimes no hyphen, and sometimes Robertson as surname and Page as second given name), born 14 Sept 1874, Cathedral St Glasgow, died 20 May 1938, 40 Highburgh Rd. Glasgow, and also his wife Mary Cochrane McPherson born 8 Dec. 1884 in Dundee and died 7 July 1947 at 19 Broomhill Terrace Glasgow.
His parents are buried in Gourock Cemetery, but cannot locate them since they left Gourock in 1937.
