His birth information will be on scotlandspeople - I posted what was the only one between 1919 and 1921, I think.

You need to register with the site, which gives you better search capability, and then buy credits to see the actual registers/certificates.  Once you have bought the credits on-line the historical records can be viewed immediately.
