Trying to find info about my father John's brothers Michael and Hugh Martin.

My Father was born in 1914 in Aexandria Dumbarton son of John Martin and Christine Williamson and was ex Argyle & Southern Highlanders. His brother Michael was in the Marines and other brother Hugh was RAF during WW2.

My father lived in Newcastle during the 1960's and returned to Scotland for my grandmothers funeral in1967. He then returned to Newcastle (Rowntree Road, walkerville) where his brother Michael may have worked in the firebrigade.

Any information would be helpfull as I have been unable to get any more info for some time.

Thx
John Martin

*UPDATE*
Hugh was born on 17th Feb 1920 in Renton, County of Dumbarton

Michael was born in Edinburgh, 20th of March 1924.

There are no death records held for either my father (John) or his two brothers which would suggest they are either still alive or have passed on whilst living out with Scotland.

Please can some help?
Any pointers on how I can access English records from Scotland?
