Are you certain he was born in Scotland? I've had a look for you, can only find his death I'm afraid. |

hi mandy, thanks for the reply, he was definately born in scotland, glasgow area, he came to england after ww2, where he married my granny and they lived in ashington, he was a miner and they had 3 children ( one being my mum, ) he nerer really spoke of his side of the family, since found out that his father died in 1929 and that he was brought up by his mother, if i cant find his birth ,i might try and find the siblings, wish me luck stacy |

Yes, maybe finding the siblings could help somewhat. If you know where he lived when he was born, you could also maybe search the baptisms to find a vauge idea too. |
