This must the one of the wrong birth certs you ordered (the most obvious right one given the location):
James MARTIN
1926 (7 January?)
663/1 9
Bo'Ness
He actually looks to have married in Glasgow in 1951 to an Eileen Dermody or Brawley. After the marriage the couple headed off to the US. He was an engineer by trade. There is a petition for naturalization for him in Vermont a few years later.

That will be one of the wrong ones. I’m going to order the certificate for James Bell Martin and keep my fingers crossed I get a lead from that.
He was married to my grandmother had 2 sons and relocated-the family to Africa for a number of years and died when his oldest son was around 12/13.
I came across a newspaper article online a while back announcing the oldest son’s birth in 1952 and the family appeared to be living with James parents in their family home.
