We may be getting old but you seem to understand my predicament. I have Andrew Park's marriage and death certificate, both events occurring in Australia. These documents indicate his mother was Margaret McKenzie. The only relevant information from the OPR from the relevant period is the marriage of Fraser Park to Elspet King. I have not been able to link a Margaret McKenzie to the Park family and conclude that as Andrew was orphaned in 1832 and emigrated to Australia in 1854 when he was 24, he may not have known who his mother was. I have no information to indicate there were 2 marriages.

Regards

I would like to hear from anyone who is researching Robert Park b. Strichen about 1762 and his wife Catherine Robertson, b. about 1765 Lonmay.
They had 2 sons in OPR, William, b. 1797 and Robert, b. 1803. I believe they had Janet, b. 1795 and Margaret, b. 1799 and possibly others not recorded.

I would appreciate any information on this family.

I have been researching my Great Great Grandfather Andrew Park born Strichen 1830 for many years. His Marriage Certificate indicates his parents were Fraser Park and Margaret McKenzie.

My research finds Fraser married Elspet King in 1828 and OPR deaths suggest they both died 1831/2. Andrew was orphaned and in 1841 Census is listed as an apprentice handloom weaver with John and Ann Scott in Low Street New Pitsligo.

I believe Ann would have been a relative of Andrew as her maiden name appears from OPR marriages to be Park.

I would be interested if anyone is researching Park and Scott families in the area around that time.
