If it's the same one, it looks as though he was born about 1880, but Antoinette may have more precise details now.

Hello kind helpers! I had thought it was Allan and Laetitia, but his death certificate which I now have says John and Fanny. He was born in 1893 and died in 1942. He served in World War 1 in some Scottish regiment. His parents lived in Germiston, South Africa.
