Hi Theresa
You are on the wrong side of the country posting in East Lothian. Glasgow is Lanarkshire!
The best start you could make would be to look for him as an infant in Overnewton Street. Astreet which hardly exists any more, lots of it knocked down. You would be able to look for him on the 1901 census which is available on
scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
This is a pay to view site but £6 purchases 30 credits and a birth or marriage certifcate , or a census view costs only 6 credits ( 1 credit to check that it is the correct one and 5 credits to actually view the entry) You can download or print off the certificate too.
This will give you his fathers full name and mothers forename as well as any siblings at that address.
Once you have parents names you can find out their marriage date and obtain a certificate. This will then give you their parents names.
Before you start a search look carefully at the advice they give on'searching records'. It will prevent you rushing into it and perhaps wasting credits.
Good luck with your searches
Russell
