Thanks  for  all  that  info  and,  sorry  I  have  took  so  long  to  reply. Been  so  busy  going  to  the  Registrary  Office  here  in  Glasgow.  Do  most  of  my  research  there.
The  other  sister  was  Jane  Boyd  married  to  Andrew  Baillie.  I'm  sure  they  also  lived  in  the  Malvern  area.

I've found his war record. He enlisted in 28/71915. His wife is next of kin: Mrs J Dickson, c/- Mrs Boyd, 8 Palermo St, Springburn Glasgow. Previous address Portland St, Springburn.

He was 19 8/12 years old. He was born in Tweedmouth, Berwick, Northumberland. Says his father's whereabouts were unknown and mother deceased.

He was discharged in 1920.

His marriage cert is on there. He ducked over from France, during the war to marry Janet. A bit confusing seeing Mrs J was down as next of kin when he enlisted.

Janet came back with him in 1919.

Enough from me: It is all there, 40 pages on http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/imagine.asp?B=3505963&I=1&SE=1
