Have you looked at the 1939 records?Yes, but by 1939 he was 70 years of age, and his family were all grown up. I know lots about him from 1901 but nothing about a birth - that is the bit I am struggling with.

Any "Williams" as witnesses in the marriage cert' ?Unfortunately not, the only WIlliams I have is my gr grandfather himself..I can find his birth so nothing much to go on and I dont know the name of his mum.

Try tracking him back through earlier censuses and looking at where siblings were born. It may be that he spent his early years in Banff and so thought he was born there, but was actually born elsewhere. I managed to track down a baptism for an ancestor who had given wrong birth location on a census by tracing his brother and figuring out the real birth location.Unfortunately I dont have the names of any of his siblings.
Have you found him in pre 1901 censuses?
Have you looked at the 1867 Forglen birth entry?Thank you Malky, unfortunately
