When and where did he marry?

Have you looked for him on the 1911 census to check for any children at that time?

Have you checked Scotlands People for marriages/deaths for the children - presuming you know their names?

Aberdeen Press and Journal of Sept 13th 1947, mentions his recent retirement from position of foreman market gardener and his presentation of a long service award by the Royal Northern Agricultural Society. A few years later, in July 1951, the Aberdeen Evening Express has a marriage notice for a son of Harry's in which he is noted as 'the late'.

Yes he was my Grandfather and yes he is her half brother but changed his name back to Napier as his mother was very close to her father Joseph Napier.  My father was William Smart Parr Napier.
