Minnie Park
« on: Thursday 22 June 17 14:58 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know the first name of Minnie Park from Fraserburgh. She nursed in Serbia and other places in WW1? I'd like to find details on her family.

Thanks for responding. It looks like Doris Minnie Park was born in Worcestershire. so not the Fraserburgh lady.

It's a report on 21 March 1916 in the Fraserburgh Herald & Northern Counties Advertiser about her service in the war. Unfortunately it makes no mention of parents or siblings.

There is a Williamina Park born 3/4/1891 Fraseburgh, Mother Helen Park.

On the 1891 Census Helen born 1866 & Williamina are living at Mont Sollie Cottage Fraserburgh with Helen's parents William Park born 1834 Banffshire & Katherine Park born 1831 Aberdeenshire.
