Looking for relatives of Charles McEwen of Scotland.

Question

My grandmother was placed in an orphanage in England in the 1930's after her father, Charles McEwen, died. I have no info besides that he died in 1937, he was a soldier, and he was born in Scotland. He married Letticia Reynish of Wales in 1918 in  City of Westminster, Lambeth, Greater London, England.
