I spotted a pension record for James Caig Davidson, a joiner of Tower St, in the employ of D. A. White of Cumnock.
He was born in Kirkcudbright and enlisted in E Company Volunteers of RSF in 1900 aged 17 yrs 3 months. He re-enlisted every year up from 1908 to 1912 by which time he was a Corporal. I can find no record of him serving in WW1 but he may well have.
He was the son of James Davidson a Cumnock born joiner and Mary Jane Caig.
He married Christina McNab in 1911 in Glasgow; he 29 master joiner of 1 Glaisnock St, Cumnock she 30 of Powdermill Rd, Furnace.
He died in Ayrshire in 1958.
