How did you come by his name? If it was a marriage, do you have the certificate for that?
The MC ought to show his father's name.

Assuming they did marry, are there any stories that it might have been in Scotland, especially if one or the other of the parents were Scottish.

As you probably know, Scottish B,M & D indexes are held on Scottlandspeople.

That's my next option, just thought I would ask the question first in case I had missed something.
Thanks for your reply

Just so we can see what you've found

Births Mar 1939 (>99%)
Thomson Anthony G Geddes Marylebone 1a 694

So his mother's maiden name was Geddes.

Have you considered purchasing his birth certificate? That would give the names of both his parents. If his mother had been married before, she may have married in her previous husband's surname.
Of course, they may not have married at all!

Maybe someone can help, looking for the parents of Anthony Geddes Thomson born March 1939 in Marylebone, London, Death 1993. The descendants are sure he was a only child, so I started looking for marriages around and before 1939 in that area, first with the fathers name as Anthony Thomson then Thomson marriage's to a Geddes, ending in every combination I could think of with no results.
Any help welcome.
