Relocation to Greenock from Woolwich Arsenal

I have discovered that 700 men plus their families were relocated to Greenock, Scotland around 1910. The men all worked in the Torpedo Factory at the Woolwich Arsenal on the River Thames, London.
Most would have lived in Plumstead, which was housing purpose built for the factory workers at the Arsenal.

Anyone else got family who moved there?
