Joe,

You might like to register at "ScotlandsPeople" and conduct a free census search for 1901, as it comes up with 55 matches:-

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search/free/results.aspx

A quick sweep of the 1911 census (doesn't cover Scotland, as far as I can tell) shows two Williams, one aged 40 in London and the other aged 27 and in the military. That much you can get on a free search. If you want more you'll need to subscribe, but they do have a 14 day free trial advertised.

It's unclear whether you have the MICs or not (although I'm assuming not by lack of numbers) but you might want to order this one, despite the misspelling:-

No other ranks service records appear to exist for any man named Center other than two in WO364 and neither are any of your four men.

Alexander F Center was numbered TR/1/16075 - no address or other details on index card.

Pte 8677 William Center, 1st Gordons, was taken as a POW. An address appears on his card:

Joseph's Leon's card gives his name as Centeno. He was a Second Lieutenant, so his file should exist in WO374 collection at Kew. http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_detail...casualty=397200 gives a different pair of Christian names.

No details on 307110 William Center's card.
