Another thought , if it is your man his army number is quite low , it may be he signed up before 1914.

Found more info than I expected as am more used to English records!

Yes, there's always more information on a Scottish certificate :)

I have discovered Thomas Keill formerly known as Reid died in 1962,  His parents are given as Charles Reid spirit salesman and Elizabeth Neilson, housekeeper.

Does it say "Elizabeth Reid M S Neilson" or just "Elizabeth Neilson"? Because if it is the latter, that means that Charles Reid was not married to Elizabeth Neilson, so the birth could be indexed as Neilson.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

The latter - which may explain why he was adopted.  Will check for birth under Neilson. Thanks

Thanks for the help you have all given me -it has enabled me to get much further than I thought I would.  Will investigate the recent suggestions later on today.

Happy Easter!
