He was 33 so b 1890. Last address 3 Rowanburn Canonbie
Neither the 1891 & 1901 census have him with parents - birthplace Canonbie. You would need to download a copy of his birth cert to get his parents name(sj
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
What evidence do you have that he visited England? Have you looked for a marriage in Canada?
What is your connection to him?

I have all his Scottish details. Mother. And born illegitimate And census info.living with his uncle. As his mother died 1900 I even have his service papers from the Second World War.
I have nothing after 1920. Thank you.

my dear "dbree" you are fantastic thank you so much
i believe that his visits co inside with deaths in the family so its all making sense .
may i tax you further is there a way for me from the uk to see if he ever married or if he died there (hopefully not alone ) could there be a will .......... a point in the right direction would be fantastic
but for everything youve given me a huge thank you from myself a 1/3 cousin in oz and a happy lady in the USA

Hi,
As to a will, it looks like you would have to apply through the Provincial Archives of Alberta. At the
bottom of the page some info, and scroll back up and on the right side "Ask Archivist"
to post your enquiry.
