Hi

Have you viewed his death cert on Scotlands People to establish his age and his parents names?

Have you checked the 1911 census for him?

Tried that today and hit a very large brick wall. He is registered as deceased on his daughter's birth certificate - she was born in 1923 In October. He must have died that year. Just want to track his death record.

What was her mothers name on the 1923 birth cert?

Were the parents married?  If so - you could check SP for a marriage

Is it definitely Mackle - could it be MacKie?

It is Mackle not Mackie. I know that he married a Mary Elizabeth Hamilton in Crookstown Tyrone in Ireland in 1914 on 4th Nov so I don't think he was over here then. He is noted as the father of John Henry Mackle who was born on October 13th 1923 in Govan. I have tried to find his death anywhere in Scotland without success but of course he could have been out of the country altogether.
