If he died in Scotland, his death cert should name both his parents.

When and where did he marry? Have you found him on the 1901 or 1911 censuses?

Think we need bit more info. Not seeing that marriage- there is a John Duffin/ Mary McAuley marriage in 1901 Lanark.

1901
DUFFIN JOHN
MCAULEY MARY
District: BELLSHILL /LANARK

Marriage cert, available on Scotlandspeople, will list parents for bride and groom.

Maybe born in Scotland?? Irish mother?

You should be able to see his birth cert on this site:

You have to buy credits but they aren't very expensive. When you have his birth cert for his mother's maiden name you can search for his parents' marriage and look for the family on the census. The Irish 1901 & 1911 censuses are free to search and view on this site:
