His birth certificate is available from Scotlands People and will give you his parents’ name.

His mother was a Paterson.

His marriage certificate will also give you some family names.

What documents do you have?

Hi Neale1961,

I know that his mother was a Paterson, I was hoping to get details from a Census without having to buy a birth certificate! Thanks.

The census records are also available on Scotlands People.
All records are readily available and are not at all expensive.

Just looking at the index on SP, I suspect his parents were probably Marion Barr Paterson and John Dunlop, who married in 1900, and are living in Avondale in 1901 census.

Thank you for the family grave details.

I am helping a cousin, so will need to consult before tackling Scotland's People.
