After he left school, Samuel worked as a gardener at St. Mary's Isle, Kirkcudbright.
Mary's occupation was domestic servant, it is thought that she also worked at St. Mary's Isle but the circumstances of her relocation from south east Scotland to Galloway are unknown. The estate at St. Mary's Isle was owned by the Earl of Selkirk so maybe he also had an estate in the Kelso area.
Samuel and Mary married in 1914 in Edinburgh.
The family lived in Queen Street, Castle Douglas from at least 1915 until the death of Mary in 1972.
Samuel's occupations were: Gardener at St. Mary's Isle, Van driver in Castle Douglas for Stevenson's the Grocer, Taxi driver in Castle Douglas for James Haugh, Crown Garage.
James Haugh's wife, Agnes Davidson was related to Samuel through his mother (Jane Martin).
Both Samuel and Mary were cremated at Ayr Crematorium.
Samuel is known to have served in the Army during the 1914-1918 war and was wounded in the hand in France at Passchendale (Ypres) in 1917.
He received a British Silver War Badge when he was discharged from the Army due to being wounded.
The Silver War Badge gives the information that Samuel enlisted in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders on 14 April 1916 and was discharged on 19 Feb 1918.
