Think that must be the right chap because a few years later in 1921, he gives his full name as Alfred Harold Siddoway; 3 rd Engineer on the Clan MacIndoe which sailed from Glasgow to New York

As stated before... Alfred's parents appear to be William and Mary Jane SIDDOWAY.  Mary Jane most likely was Mary Jane AMBLER.

The only way to be really sure is to get a copy of Alfred's birth certificate from the UK which should tell you who his parent's were including mother's maiden name. You can order online via the GRO at

www.gro.gov.uk

FreeBMD shows this as a possible birth for Alfred...

March Quarter 1893
