Hi ozmouse

Further to Diddy's find in the 1881 Census:

In that 1881 Census, the parents Samuel & Charlotte are stated born Ireland.
The children Samuel & Charlotte are both stated born Duddingston, Portobello

There appears to be a big gap between Harry 1885  and Anthony 1889  - enough for perhaps 2 more children.
Your AW stated he was C of E,  on his Army records.

The marriage of Samuel EWINGS  and Charlotte Jane WILSON  is listed on the Emerald Ancestors site:
http://www.emeraldancestors.com/

You can find it via the free search, but to see the full details you have to pay - the cheapest option being GBP 9.00 for 1 month access. But by doing so you may discover their parents names - though I'm not actually sure what you can expect to find on the full record ....

Like Diddy, I've had a good hunt for them in 1891/1901 without success. I also couldn't see any deaths for either Samuel or Charlotte snr in Scotlands People. Can't find any WW1 record for son Harry. Can't see them on any immigration lists to the USA.  But I did come across this followiing  - not sure how long the shot is!

In the Canadian WW1 Soldiers Database is the following:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/index-e.html
Harry EWING born 1885 Donegal Ireland, and is C of E.
Address given in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
He was drafted in 1917 and the form is dated Dec 1917.
It also states he is married, 1st April 1917. Yet, it gives his  Next of Kin as : 
Father Anthony EWING  of Treherne Donegal Irleand

I cannot see any marriage for this Harry on the Manitoba database:
http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php

And I can't find anything else of this Canadian based Harry....

My thought was, perhaps this Canadian Harry is a cousin to your AW. And that your AW's father Samuel and Canadian Harry's father Anthony, may be brothers.....?

Cheers

Many.. Many thanks to you all.... that helps a great deal.
Found so far:
married Beatrice Kirkham 1918
Child: Jeannie B Ewing b. 1920 Lambeth
both Anthony and Beatrice listed on 1931 and 1936 electoral roll in Bass, Vic
Beatrice death listed in Eden, NSW 1865
Haven't found a death for Anthony or anything for Jeannie Ewing. Looked at the Canadian Harry Ewing, I suppose he is a possibility.
