Was he actually born in Dunbar or just lived there?

What address is shown on his demob papers?  Any wife/children shown as he was 36 in 1919?

Carole ,he was born in Dunbar . I don`t  have his demob papers, just a mention he was  at the end of his service record at Chattam . I don`t think he was married ,couldn`t find a marriage ,and his dates for ships etc didn`t show a leave .

The only references I have are 305551 and PIC 364738  Chattam . on his service record .
