I am trying to found out more information about my Great Great Grandfather Hugh McMillan. The only piece of paper I have that mentions him, is his son's wedding certificate... which is dated 30/10/1918 and shows his son John McMillan (aged 26) who was born in 1892 and an Iron Moulder, marrying Annie Storr, in Leeds, England. Hugh appears on the certificate as deceased. I have been told by various family members that Hugh and John were both born in Scotland, possibly Renfrew, wether this is true and when they came down to England... I do not know?
Can anybody help?

Your best bet would be to try the Scotland's People site (http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk). It's £6 for 30 credits. A search costs 1 credit and to view an image costs 5 credits. If you look for the birth of John McMillan and find the one you are looking for then it will be money well spent. From the certificate you'll also get the information about his mother. From there you can then look for his parents marriage certificate, etc.
I had a quick look without using my remaining few credits. There were 32 John McMillans born in 1892 Scotland, 3 of these were born in Renfrew.
