Hi
I have limited access to Scotlands people
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search/marriage/index.aspx

I believe the link should contain info indexed by me. This is the marriage. If you buy some credits you would be able to see the record and download it.
Heather's birth is there as well, 1959 in Provan.
As far as births for Brian, I cannot find one in Scotland. There is this one in England

Brian E Dearlove Apr-May-Jun 1937 Reading ref 2c 540, mother Wheeler

edit - Mothers name recorded as Wolfenden, not Woflenden

Hi
If you are sure, the Brian born in Reading is your father, to find his exact date you would need to get the birth cert. You know the quarter he was born in and the district and ref no you will need. This is the web site to order a cert,
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

Have you got the marriage cert from Scotlands people? This should at least give you both their ages and Pearl's maiden name. You could then check the birth I have given you, and if her maiden name is Duncan and the date tallies, you could get the birth details on Scotlands people.
