Apologies to all, not familiar with Scottish links, also not too computer literate! Have ms so thinking can be slow. Appreciate all the help you can give.

There's a Cpl. Adam Humphrey born Whiteinch, Lanarkshire but living in Motherwell in WWII King's Own Scottish Borderers, killed in action 17 Aug.1917. Not sure is here's the correct Adam and/or the one in 1901 census. Unfortunately CWGC site gives no details of parents or possible spouse-

Thank you one and all. Ev - confirming that the marriage in 1901 is the correct Adam junior. Don't think the ww1 death is him. Would like to ask sancti were to find the information regarding the address given in Glasgow.

Were both parents both deceased(dec.) on the 1901 marriage certificate ?
What was Adam's wife's name ?

Think sancti found that address on the 1891 Census transcription

ev, yes Adam's parents were both deceased. His wife is    Jane Smellie Love. I found 2 births registered to Adam (Jnr) and Jane (Love)  - an Adam 20/10/1901 and an Agnes 1/11 1907 (today!!). Sadly I also found that the little girl died on 7/11/1918 age 11yrs. The amazing thing is that the father (Adam) IS the ww1 soldier previously mentioned - gives his details on the death certificate of Agnes - what a journey today has been!

The address was from the census transcription

The Poorhouse Hospital would have been this one

Good find by Aghadowey  
Adam's army number is quite low(7795) so I would suspect he was in the Army before 1914(or enlisted early)

You might want to post on the Armed Forces board on Rootschat to see if you can find out anything
else about Adam junior. There will be a medal card at the very least.

Added -
