Help finding Alexander Martin before 1940

[Jebber]

An outside chance if dates work.

There was an Alexander MARTIN  born 28 August 1811 Kircaldy, Fifeshire. He was a Lance/Cpl in the Gordon Highlanders. If already in the Army he wouldn’t show up in the 1939 Register,

This man was taken POW in France 12 June 1940. As the marriage was in the March quarter it is just possible to have married before being sent to France.

Although the marriage was 1940 - I think a child was born 1938.  Next child not born until 1943

As I said, it’s only an outside chance, it would depend if he had leave  to marry before going overseas. But anything is worth investigating because sometimes the unlikely proves correct.
