Most WW1 service records were destroyed in WW2. He doesn't apppear to be in the 1911 census and nor do his parents who presumably had died. Interestingly by searching in the 1911 census for his brother John b Marlow there seems to be an entry in Farnham in the army. If his elder brother was in the army in 1911 it would make sense that Sidney did too. Not really sure if this helps or not.

The Liverpool Museum has a WW1 database for this regiment. I used it once and it was very user friendly

I think this should be the link but if not try google.

Wikipedia has a lot of background info on the regiment.

You may well be right about them being born in Ireland. I can't find any trace of them before 1871, although usually people who were born in Ireland were recorded as such and there origins were quite obvious.
In the 1871 census there is Thomas 22 Ellen 21 Margaret 3 Ann 1 all b Westminster. Thomas was a Hawker. They were living at 18 Romney Place Westminster with several other families. There was also a John Sullivan 24 b Westminster at this address. The census description shows that Romney Place (no longer exists) was adjacent to Horseferry Rd and Marsham St, both of which still exist. There is a Romney St which still exists in this area. These roads are all extremely close to Carey Place, which still exists, and where the family were living in 1881 so I think this must be the same family.

In 1891 there is a Thomas Hamilton 42 widower Flower Seller Hawker b Westminster living at 16 Snows Rents Lodging House, Westminster.

The only possible Jane Hamilton I could find was Jane Hamilton aged 16 b Knightsbridge who was a servant in a house in Enfield.
