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.

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 22 Aug 2018 14:55

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
