The only record that might be of some use is the 1979 death certificate. But, even if the informant was a close relative, as death was around 35 years ago, he/she would likely have moved house – or even have died.

You may have to use Scotlands People to find earlier records. it is a pay to view site - no one has a subcription. However, B, M & D certs are far more informative than English and Welsh ones

I have no other details other than the name, but this gentleman lived with us back in the mid/late 1970's, when he became ill. I have many photographs of his family and would like to reunited them with his family.

If you have any links with the name, please get in touch.
Many thanks
Laurena.
