Sandra, from the details you are building up, this looks to be John wife's death registration:

MARION KAY SORLIE
Age 79
Mother's maiden name KAY
1987
732/ 301
Leith

I don't think she remarried as there is only one additional surname for the entry, Masterton.

Looking at the electoral registers 1930/31 onwards there is only ever John J with his mother and father John and Margaret, perhaps he was an only child ?

Thank you very much for your continued input, really appreciated. That is great.  As suspected it is looking like he was an only child.

 You're welcome Sandra just glad to be of help.

Looks like Marion did remarry again in 1949

Marion would be 42 years old by then so unlikely she had children from that second marriage.
Couldn't see any names 1937 - 1940 which might have indicated John and Marion had children.
Going to come to a blank end on this one.

I wouldn't have thought so either no deaths coming up on Scotlands People .

There is a death for a David Morris Scott in Leith in 1988 aged 80 think this could me the second husband .Unfortunately can't download marriage cert in 1949.
