Ah, I've found some information (Soldiers Died in the Great War), showing that he was killed in action 31 Oct 1914 and his service number was 2725, previously 9767 in the Gordon Highlanders. But I still can't find the records that you mention with mother and brother listed? Would you be able to either post a link to them if they are available online, or scan them in and email me a copy, please? I can PM you my email address if you want to do this.
The Soldiers Died in the Great War record has place of enlistment / residence as Cork, so maybe he was brought up in Ireland?
