Hi Marytowns, My husband is Scottish so I know from personal experience the National Records of Scotland which contain records going back to 1855 should probably be your first port of call http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/birth-death-and-marriage-records/statutory-registers-of-births-deaths-and-marriages.
The National Library of Scotland provides good tips when searching for family records in Scotland so it may be worth checking their website as well http://www.nls.uk/family-history/births-deaths-marriages
Hi Marytowns, I meant to include a link to the website Archives which has 2.7 billion UK records, however it is not a free site but maybe you can find the information using their free trial - www.archive.com/uk
If your 2x great grandfather died in England you could also try the General Register Office which is part of the Passport Office and covers registration of births, marriages and deaths dating back to 1837 in England and Wales. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
