My great grandfather David Munro Henderson served in WW1 as a medic but i know little about his service. He was born in Leith Edinburgh in about 1885, any info would be amazing as I know little about the man.
Thanks

The only birth on Scotlands People for his name was in 1891 Hutchesontown which is Glasgow
Can you confirm if his father was Hugh - occ police sergeant?

There is no birth 1880 - 1886 in Midlothian for a David Munro Henderson although there are 33 other births for David Henderson in Midlothian
The only entry with Munro as a middle name is the 1891 entry
-
Suspect this is the birth of Jane (showing on the 1901 census) - Jane Garrick Henderson daughter of David Henderson and Jane Roney/Ronney born 1 February 1891 South Leith Scotland.
