Midlothian / Children of Major Basil Alves

Hi
I am trying to find details of the children of Fort Major Basil Alves of Edinburgh Castle. I believe one of his sons was a Basil Alves, possibly born in 1788 and at least one daughter was Harriet Alves.
This son went on to be a Captain in the royal marines and was on HMS Defiance at trafalgar, I have his actual royal commission paper and an ancester has written that he is related, but no details, so any information on any of the Major's children would be most welcome.
