Discharged 1918.
It's hard to read some of the army record, but it doesn't look as if he ever served overseas.

Your grandfather's death ???

MCCUE
THOMAS
64
1960
628/ 208
Cambusnethan

This is probably the death of the Shotts child:

MCCUE
THOMAS
0
1896
655/3 23
Shotts (Western District)

So the Anderston one is likely to be your grandfather.

Going by the 1901 census above, one of these will be Thomas's birth:

MCCUE
THOMAS
M
1895
644/10 2
Anderston


MCCUE
THOMAS
M
1895
655/3 80
Shotts (Western District)

Bellshill is about halfway between Anderston and Shotts.

You'd have to look at the image of the actual birth cert on Scotlands People to see which one is your grandfather.
It's free to register on SP, and to do the initial search.
To look at images of certs you need to buy credits (30 minimum for £7.50). It costs 6 credits to view and print (if wished) a cert.

The birth cert would tell you the exact place and date of his parent's marriage.

I don't see their marriage on SP.
