He is son of my grandfather's brother, William Ingram of Scotland 1872-1911 and of Elizabeth May Ingram (nee Champion) of England. He was born in Bangalore, India while his father was stationed there. He is in Cambuslang, Scotland in 1911 census with paternal grandparents, his widowed mother, and 2 siblings,  ARTHUR CHARLES INGRAM, b 1906 & Annie b 1909.
The next evidence of William jr  is his Australian service record. His mother remarried George William Rowan in Brookton, West Australia. His brother was in Brookton, too. I'd like information on any of them.

Here is the marriage of William George and Florence in Sth Aust.

SA birth records only go to 1928 and there is a son born to them in 1928.   This person may still be living so I won't post the details.
** Correction -  son born 1927**

Hope that helps a little,
