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

a Douglas Park Mitchell was born in Govan in 1951.

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.

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:

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

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

Only one Nancy Park birth on Scotlands people in 20s but born 1926?

Is Nancy short for something else?
