So he is.  ;D

I think it's time for me to call it quits for today.

I was also corrected on the War Memorials site.

You just need some super-duper genealogical glasses:

Alexander looks to have had a half sister:

Birth 

HILL
AGNES TRAINOR D
F
1931
639/ 188
Dalziel

Marriage

HILL
AGNES TRAINOR D
REID
WALTER
1951
639/ 419
Dalziel

Death

HILL
AGNES TRAINOR D
78
DAVIDSON
2009
570/ 736
Motherwell and Wishaw

REID
AGNES TRAINOR D
78
DAVIDSON
2009
570/ 736
Motherwell and Wishaw

With the MMN now known to be Davidson, then this marriage seems correct one:

HILL
LOUIS WALTER
DAVIDSON
JANET MCDONALD
1930
639/ 70
Dalziel

Therefore Alexander's mum had first initial J rather than I (CWGC site has I) and so likely her first marriage was:

DAVIDSON
JANET MCDONALD
WILSON
ISAAC
1918
639/ 233
Dalziel

and possibly a third:

HILL
JANET MCDONALD
MERCER
THOMAS
1953
628/ 141
Cambusnethan

albeit no mention of Wilson surname on her likely death:

DAVIDSON
JANET MCDONALD
79
SAWERS
1975
570/ 488
Motherwell and Wishaw

HILL
JANET MCDONALD
79
SAWERS
1975
570/ 488
Motherwell and Wishaw

MERCER
JANET MCDONALD
79
SAWERS
1975
570/ 488
Motherwell and Wishaw
