Ian, Are you aware of the person who has Nancy Park born 1922 in her tree here?

it's a very old membership number so may be unlikely to still be a member,

the same person also has this on tree

Relation Name: Living Park

Date of Birth: 1960

Place of Birth: GLASGOW Lanarkshire Scotland

Of course, Nancy is a common diminutive of ANN, whcih may well be her given name

Or Agnes - as was the case with one of my cousins.

How sure are you of her year of birth?

Unfortunately her parents' names are no help in identifying such a recent birth on SP.
The 1926 birth was in Edinburgh.

There were three marriages of a William Park to an Elizabeth in Scotland 1910-1926.
These two, as well as the Cowan marriage already posted:

That looks like a good possibility, AQ.


There were 4 Ronald Mitchells born in Glasgow 1946 - 1956 .
Hilllhead 1946, Govan 1946, Springburn 1947, and Shettleston 1950.

But no way of knowing if any of them is the son you mention, Ian, without buying the certs.

ArgyllGran Report 13 May 2019 13:04

I don't know if it's relevant or not -

a Douglas Park Mitchell was born in Govan in 1951.
