Have you got an approximate year of birth for him?

(Is the sister actually Patsy, but do you know her married name?)

Thanks.

Added:
You have him as 1946, Belfast in your tree?

What year was he known to be in Scotland

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Could you get your parents marriage certificate for more information?

Sorry to go on, but do the sons Brian, Peter and Noel have the surname Patton?

Thank-you
