Laing Family in Scotland

My grandfather was James Laing born in Scotland,not sure where-no birth date but think probably 1880-1885. He left Scotland & homesteaded in Saskachewan, Canada somewhere from 1990-1908. He died November 1952 or 1953. He married Elizabeth Bartlett,not sure if Canada or Scotland early 1900. He came to Canada first & set up homestead, then she followed. They had 2 children, Bartlett Laing born 1908 or 1909 and Jean Laing, my mother, born October 1911. He died in Harris, Sask, which was close to where he had homesteaded.Don't know if this is linked, my mother and uncle & grandmother are all deceased--Grandmother died in Victoria, B.C.in 1953. My grandfather was also a twin, which may help, but I don't know anything about his family other than that.
