George White, Scottish Rifles. Help Please

[auntya]

Hoping you kind folks can help me.

Been searching for George White for a while now, with limited success.
I know he was in the Scottish Rifles as per his marriage certificate of 1905 which shows him as a Private at Maryhill Barracks, Glasgow.
By 1911 he is living at Hamilton Barracks, his occupation, Army Bugler but then moves back to Maryhill.

I’ve looked for him in WW1 Service Records so far without success but I’ve recently come across an entry for a George White, Service Number 7158, Scottish Rifles in WW1 Pension Ledgers & Index Cards and wondered if he could be who I’m looking for.

Does anyone have access to these records who would be willing to take a look?

I don’t know what information it may hold or how I could prove it was the correct person. 
He was married to Margaret H Cameron and had 7 children (that I know of). Also, on one of his childrens birth certificates (1917) it states he was a Corporal, 3rd Battalion Scottish Rifles but also at Tramcar Conductor

I would be so grateful if anyone could help me.

What is his birth year and birth place? Quite a few men with his name in the Scottish Rifles (Cameronians) at the time.

Oh my goodness!
I can’t believe how quickly you’ve all replied. Thank you so much.

Sandra…..George & family were definitely at 17 Shawpark St in the 1921 census
Do you know what PPS, SAL and MW mean. Did he have different service numbers and if so, why?

Ashtone…. George was born 1882/3 Baptised 3/1/1883 at Lambeth, London. Was baptised Stephen George but was known as George. Parents were Stephen and Eliza Ann.
Why he ended up in Scotland is a mystery.

So excited. It looks like it could be the right George!
