The one you have, his service record is online

Relationship to Soldier   Self (Head)

It lists his wife as Annie Ross married 1903 in Port Glasgow, you could check their marriage for parent names.

The surname appears to be Rodger(s) on the birth, there is also this family in 1891 in Dumbartonshire, did they move back? Maybe a different family...

All b Port Glasgow except youngest

David Rodgers 36 Head
Susan Rodgers 30 Wife
David Rodgers   8   Son
Margaret Rodgers 7 Daur
Mary Jane Rodgers 3 Daur  Clydebank
Rebecca Rodgers 2 Mo Daur Clydebank
William Mcelhiney 23 Boarder

Added - Looks like correct family
