I'm looking for any ideas as to how I could track down someone after their discharge from the army. After two years, I finally got a copy of my great uncle's army records. He was a gunner in the Royal Artillery and was discharged in September 1934 after 12 years. The only address listed in the records was the family home in South Queensferry. I can't find any record of him in Scotland although there is another John Findley Sinclair listed but it is not him. My relative was born May 31st 1904. Any suggestions would be welcome.

My paternal great grandmother was Helen Fraser b1886 in Edinburgh. She was illegitimate with only her mother, Janet Fraser, listed on the birth certificate. Her mother married in 1886 (Hugh Mackintosh) and she (Helen) is identified as Helen Fraser Mackintosh on the 1901 census, Helen F.S Mackintosh in 1902 when she marries Daniel Sinclair and Helen Fraser on her death certificate in 1956. Sounds all very straightforward.
However, on her son's death certificate she is identified as Nellie Sinclair (maiden name Stanners). I found a Helen F Stanners (b1886 Midlothian) on the 1891 census for Bridgeness, Carriden. She is listed as the adopted daughter of James and Betsy Stanners.
So, my question is (and I may be completely wrong) could Helen's biological father be a Stanners? If not then why would she be adopted in 1891 and then be living with her mother in 1901? Any advice would be welcome.

Struggling to locate a death certificate and I'm looking for suggestions on where else to look.

David Thomson b1821 Kennoway
He appears in the 1861 census living at Pettycur Road, Kinghorn with wife (Elizabeth McArthur) and 3 sons and 3 daughters.
In 1869 there is a birth certificate for Andrew Thomson/McArthur. Mother is listed as Elizabeth Thomson, widow of David Thomson. Son is illegitimate.
In 1870, Elizabeth marries Peter McEwen and they both appear on the 1871 census as well as two children born in 1863 and 1865, both with last name Thomson.
I'm thinking that David died between 1861 and 1866 but I can't find a record.

Any help would be appreciated.

Trying to locate John Robbie after 1901 census. He was born on July 27th 1879 in East Hatton, Cargill. His mother was Janet McIntosh and father George Robbie (not married). The 1881 and 1891 census have him living with his grandparents in Coupar Angus. In 1901 he was working on Ardgaith Farm. There is no sign of him on the 1911 census. Any advice would be welcome.
