Do you have any more info, eg his parents' names? There are a few records on Ancestry for Thomas McFadyens b about the correct time.

Do you have his son's birth cert? If so what address is given?

Kath,

thank you for looking, could be him going by the date of birth,

I wonder if someone could find any records for Thomas McFadyen , not sure about d.o.b I would think c 1880 /1885 . Born in Glasgow . His occupation on his son's marriage cert in 1938 was plater's helper .

His son , also Thomas was born in 1915 in glasgow.

any help would be appreciated,
