Thanks Diddy will have a look

Popped into local library in Alloa today and managed to find deaths reported for James and Andrew in 1901, Thomas in 1937 and my great grandfather John's son James in 1926.  Also managed to get the fatal enquiry information for some of them.

What I can't believe is that James and Andrew were working 30 yards from my great grandfather John and my great great grandfather Andrew.  Luckily they survived and weren't involved in the collapse as I might not have been here today.  Two and a half hours at the library well spent and some reading for me tonight
