FYI:
Saltcoats and Stevenston are immediately adjacent to each other. Stevenston, specifically "Ardeer", was home to Alfred Nobel's first dynamite manufacturing plant. This would link extremely well with  your man's occupation (Dynamite Worker) and residence (Stevenston).

My dad was from Stevenston, and a lot of my relations were dynamite workers.

Ah, so you would have known that info. I'm originally from Saltcoats, now in W.A. for more than 50 years.
