Can anyone decipher the places where parents reside please?  Katharine Park born 1796 in Longside to William Park and Barbara Ligertwood.  Thanks.

Don't recall ever seeing one like this.

William Park in Dumstone (likely Dumpstone) and Barabara Ligertwood in Burnthilloch. 

Were they not married at this time?

My thought too Don as it's strange there's no 'wife' mentioned & both from different places  ???

Only other I could find was Duncanston(e) which is Insch but it looks a bit too short for all those letters.

Good map Malky!

I couldn't find a marriage on SP for William & Barbara although they may have married elsewhere or record lost?

Thanks everyone, I don't think they were married as I cannot find a death certificate for Barbara in the Park surname and there doesn't seem to be any other children but i'm still digging.  I just couldn't make out the place name at all, thanks.

Not sure if you've ruled this one out?

LIGERTWOOD BARBARA 83
SYMMONS (mms)
1866
221/ 17 Methlick (Aberdeen)

Do you have Barbara on any census records & where did Katharine end up?
