I did notice in the divorce papers Olive Dixon is the only child of Albert and Jeannie. Isabella had a different father. I did notice she had Currie added as her middle name on the passenger list. You will get lots from his service records.
Enjoy!

Ah thanks for that I found Olive's marriage in 1940 (birth in 1920 cannot be viewed yet as a quick view) but was struggling to find Isabella - thats why she wasnt born a Dixon!
 Jeanie Dixon is still alive in 1940 and going by Jean on Olive's marriage cert, witness was older sister Isobel Dixon.

Isabella was down on the other passenger list as Isa so that may help. She was 7 on the passenger list in 1923 . Just noticed someone already has put that. Sorry
The Glasgow electoral rolls are on Ancestry so you may be able to find them there.
