David Hook born 1920 Dennistoun is in one tree on Ancestry.
The tree has father as unknown, and mother as Jane McMillan Hook.
Jane subsequently marries William Simpson, who dies, and then James Feeney, with various children.

Added:
This would be her death:
Jane McMillan Feeney, also Hook, also Simpson, dies age 68 in 1966 in Glasgow  644/6  747


Added:
The tree is fairly detailed, owned by someone with surname Simpson, and appears active, so worth making contact?
