Sorry but we need details- such as dates.

I could suggest checking for Walter McGowan, etc. in the 1911 Scottish census but there's no way of knowing from your post if Walter might have been born before or after 1911.

If he was born in Scotland you can check for a birth registration on Scotland's People website (pay per view).

Have you tried contacting him to see if he knows of a connection?
