Welcome to the boards Tomas.

Do you have their marriage record? If they married in Scotland this has both parents' details.

Might this be him do you think? I wonder how you know where he was born?

Note parents and oldest child born Ireland.

BMD info for Scotland is on Scotland's people website.

It is not a subscription site........you will have to purchase credits (£7.00 for 30)

BUT...........there are much stricter limitations on access to Scottish info than to that for England/Wales.........look at the SP home page for details

Also - no offence - may I ask if you actually mean 'siblings' when referring to this couple? Or do you, perhaps, mean their children?
