Hi Sean, welcome to Rootschat
For information of this type you need to go to the library , i dont know which one that would be as i dont know the area where your father was born and/or go to the local records office and get a birth certificate for him as they have lots of useful info on them eg fathers name and address plus his father (your grandad) name.
Cencus information is not available after 1901 anywhere.
Could you not ask any family members if they know anything about him?
Good luck
Joe

The address for the Registration Office for Glasgow is
1 Martha St
Glasgow G1 1JJ
0141-287 7679
You can order the certificates by phone and each one will cost £13.50
The Mitchell Library North St Glasgow holds a vast amount of backdates newspapers on microfilche which you could search to see if there was a death notice put in for your father
Hope this will be of some help to you
