Unsure when parents married :-( all I know is that they were both deceased by the time of his marriage to Alice Murray Scott (my Grandmother) in April 1927.
Other information I have is his Paternal Grandfather was John who married Isabella (Robertson?)
Maternal Grandfather was John or George Barclay who married Ann McDonald.

Perhaps his middle name was added after the birth was registered.

When did the parents marry - just in case he was born a Barclay

Good luck with the search

I'm now wondering if he was born in Perth like his siblings...I know he married at St Aloysius' Chapel in Garnethill. I've recently returned from a trip there.

Really strange as just had a look at Scotlandspeople and now understand why you thought Glasgow as place of birth.

Peter Comrie McNiven b1899 Glasgow but have not checked cert for names of parents
