 Thanks very much for the pointers and tips...I downloaded the will and it seems Thomas was survived by son Thomas, daughter Ann and David. David is described in the will as “infirm” and the executors are asked to pay over any residue from the estate in a manner most fitting to his(David’s) welfare 
The scrap I have is addressed to David E. Lindsay c/o John Beveridge Queen Anne St, Dunfermline, Fife....so he obviously moved....it’s lovely to be able to finally tie him in

And just FYI...here's the scrap I have...not exactly a full family bible complete with births and deaths going back over centuries ....haven't yet been able to decipher the pencil address scribbled in the top left...
