WW1 Pension records for Andrew Miller (1914) - indicate father was Andrew Miller - 60 Enfield Place, Lady Mill Road. Motherwell. Lanarkshire.

Enfield Place, Ladywell Road has long gone. By 1925 number 60 was occupied by John Brown, vanman. No.38 was occupied by Robert Miller, engine driver.
In the 1911 street directory No.60 was occupied by Andrew Miller, carter.

Just a thought Sandra...not sure if Andrew Jnr's mother was a
Miller Steel. There is a family tree here with mother Janet showing as Janet Miller Steel http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/50594587/person/26426557788/facts
Have sent tree owner a message, but not sure it is the right couple. The census entry you posted for 1901 is different never mind that Andrew Jnr's age.

From that 1901 snip you posted, possibly wife/mother is a Jane Thomson. There is a marriage between a Jean Thomson and an Andrew Millar in 1879 in Holytown (fits well with area from censuses).

Just from the general index from SP for the 1911 census in Dalziel Lanarkshire:
Andrew Miller 56
Jane T Miller 55
Robert Miller 24
Marion Miller 18
Andrew Miller 16
Andrew Miller 5...a grandson?

Andrew senior's 1915 death notice in the Hamilton Advertiser notes his wife as 'June Thomson'.
Andrew junior's death notice refers to him as 'youngest son'.

does anyone know why the CWGC is looking for relatives of these soldiers?

The Commission's principles:
Each of the dead should be commemorated by name on the headstone or memorial
Headstones and memorials should be permanent
Headstones should be uniform
There should be no distinction made on account of military or civil rank, race or creed
sometimes the names appear on a memorial but not at the correct cemetery.
Volunteers are working with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to search for men and women who were missed off official lists. Some died of their injuries after being discharged from the forces, while the deaths of some others were wrongly classified.
