Given the marriage date, it’s likely the children are still living.  Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy so you need to remove their names from your post

What kind of “listings” are you referring to?  Unless he was a person of note BMD info is the most likely you will find.  Hugh died 2003

Have you got Hugh's parents' details? This looks like a likely marriage entry for them:

ROBERT NEILSON LATTA
and
HELEN MCKENDRIC ATHYA
1921
Ref 644 / 3 / 194
Calton (Glasgow)

Have you viewed Hugh's birth registration on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ?

From the index:

HUGH LATTA
1922
Ref 644 / 1 / 420
Bridgeton Glasgow

...Had 2 siblings Andrew and Albert...


Could the brother have been Robert rather than Albert (there is no birth showing for an Albert)?

There is this possible birth entry:

ROBERT LATTA
1929
Ref 644 / 1 / 78
Bridgeton, Glasgow

Like death for this Robert:

ROBERT LATTA
Age 46
Mother's maiden name ATHYA
1975
Ref 506 / 100
Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton

A further brother, John, born on 5 July 1923 in Bridgeton.

If you have access to Ancestry, there is a family tree for this John here www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/158969162/person/302122491210/facts

Not sure if you have come across this site?

The births section only has Hugh, John and Robert showing as sons of Robert Neilson Latta and Helen McKendrick Athya. No daughters. See  www.lattafamilyorigins.org/ScotMaleBths1855-1930.html

It is a well researched study of the Latta surname. A number of entries for this family in the other categories (marriages and deaths) Main page here www.lattafamilyorigins.org/index.html
