You need Scotlands People for his birth

It's not a subs site but is free to search

Looking for in what way - Info about him or actually trying to trace him?

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

With surname spelt Crossan a birth shows in 1937 on the Scotland's People website. As the birth is less than 100 years ago you can order the certificte through the site but not look at and download yourself.

https://www.freebmd.org.uk - free to use, gives marriage details so you can order that certificate through the GRO site

No results for deaths up to 2006 England/Wales - limit of commercially available records

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Wills - no probate results 2006-2018, though not all deaths result in probate records

Look on Scotlands People doing the free search
He was born 1937

You would have to order the birth certificate through them. .they cost £12 I believe


As he could still be alive then posting his personal Info is an invasion of his privacy and against T&C ,s of the site

His birth record from Scotlands People:

CROSSAN
DAVID CARR
M
1937
685/2 866
St Andrew (Edinburgh)

As Greyghost has said, you can register with the site (free to register and do a basic search), then order a copy through the site. It will cost £12.

But I think you mean you are trying to find where he is now?

I'm afraid he died in 2005:

CROSSAN
DAVID CARR
68
mms CROCKETT
2005
662/ 414
Saltcoats



This will be his parents' marriage - it's the only Crossan/Crockett marriage in Scotland 1910-1937:

CROSSAN
ROBERT GLASS
CROCKETT
MARGARET
1936
597/ 65
Kilmarnock (Ayr)

You don't have to buy a copy of that - you can buy credits on SP, and view/print the image of the original document. Minimum 30 credits cost £7.50. You'll need 6 credits to see the image.

It will tell you their ages, and their parents' names and fathers' occupations.

His father's death:

CROSSAN
ROBERT GLASS
83
mms MCNEIL
1979
662/ 173
Saltcoats


Possibly his father's birth:

CROSSAN
ROBERT
M
1895
578/ 749
Ayr


There was also a Robert Glass Crossan born in Kilmarnock in 1962 - possibly some relation.
