Do you think the name Vallance was maybe Thomas's mother's mn?

Might be worth checking the death for Thomas Buchan in Leith South RD in 1877 - age given  as 67 (as per free search on SP).

Added - I also note a death for a Fanny Buchan age 47 in Peebles in 1891. The 1891 census has a Fanny Buchan age 46, born in England and a widow - she is an inmate in Peebles workhouse.

Well spotted Millmoor, it was Thomas who passed away 8 Jan 1877 of pneumonia at 3 View Place, Leith, his parents were Andrew Buchan, labourer and Catherine nee Haddow. Fanny was the informant.
So I guess no wonder the 2 boys ended up in the poor house in 1881 but what about Fanny-would she have passed away too or maybe married again?

Parents; Andrew Buchan and Catherine/ Kathrine/ Katherine Haddow.(Cannot see a marriage for them).
