His death cert, which you can order from scotlandspeople, should have his parents' names on it.

Do you have his death certificate? That would give you parents' names.

Welcome to the boards, James.

Can you give us more information, please? Was he born in Scotland? Any names of relatives of Robert would be helpful. What was his occupation?
