Welcome to the boards, Dorothy.

You need to buy credits on Scotlands People, and have a look at the image of his birth certificate.

If we know his exact birth date, we may be able to find his death.

£7.50 for minimum 30 credits.
The initial search is free (use the details posted above by Shirley).
Then 6 credits to view/print the birth cert.

I clearly said that it isn’t that one

NOT the right person - the above man's second forename is Leslie

The only record for him using the full name on SP is his birth

You need Scotlands People for his birth and to view the 1911 census

If he stayed in Scotland you also need the site for a possible marraige and his death

Look for him in 'search all member trees' - under the search option top right

Looking for Robert Lawson Tait b1904 Edinburgh, parents William James Tait and Jessie Kidd Grant. Hope somebody has him tucked away somewhere!!
Thank you
