Need help finding information

Hi,

My name is Sharleen, I'm currently researching my family tree and I'm having trouble doing my mums side. This is purely because I have no idea what her father's name was. Growing up I believed it was someone who then turned out to be impossible as I found information that he died many years before my mum was born. Having spoken to a family member, I've been advised that it's likely to be my uncles father. All we know is his father's surname was Mcginn. I believe he was in a wheelchair and had something to do with a clothes shop that my family member remembers being in St Margarets Road, Ardrossan. If anyone has any information that could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
