Bringing this back up to see if anyone can find James Andrew(s) for me.

Died 1918 age 19, son of John & Jean Andrew(s) nee Kirkwood.

See: (Page 3) http://scottishwargraves.phpbbweb.com/viewtopic.php?t=253&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=denny+cemetery&start=30

I think I may have found the family living at 144 McLean Street, Govan Glasgow on the 1901 Census. Names and ages all tie up with those on the stone and both sons (Andrew and elder brother William both listed as born in Bonnybridge, Sirlingshire).

John Andrews, Labourer, age 35, born c1866 at St. Ninians, Stirlingshire
Jane Andrews, age 35, born c1866 at Bonnybridge
William Andrews, age 7, born c1894 at Bonnybridge
Andrew J. K. Andrews, age 2, born c1899 at Bonnybridge

Possibly Andrew James Kirkwood Andrews?

I've checked Bonnybridge, Denny & Longcroft Civic Memorials there are no Andrew(s) listed.
