" they appear on ww1 pension ledger after death of her husband"

Why are they named on the pension legder?

Are they described as dependents?

Did the GILMOUR couple have children?

Can you clarify please - you do not have access to the ledger, and you are using information given to you by someone?

I think you need to see the ledger. It should indicate why the MURDOCH children appear on the document. Context is important.
