Hiya.. thanks for that.. I found out who he was.. James Proudfoot born 1914 in Kinglasie and died in Dunfermline in 2001.. I believe he lived in Dunfermline but do not know how to find out whether he had any children now?

His death is on SP but you have to order the cert. this might help depending on who was the informant of the death - might be a son or daughter. age 87 - grandchild.

Hello. James Proudfoot was my father. He did indeed have children - 7 of us! I am the youngest. As you have already learned, he was born in 1914 - which makes it the centenary of his birth next year. He had a very interesting life - with a career spent in the Fife coal mining industry. It would be good to hear about your link to him.
