Thank you, Thank you, thank you to all for the help....Rosie, Forfarian, ColC
Rosie..... your finds are the ones that match closest to what I have.
 From James Murray Park's Birth in 1855 I have that his father was a grocer and from William S Park's birth the father was a general merchant ..... No dancing just hard work  ;D
When you mention IGI you mean FamilySearch.... Latter Day Saints site?
If so I'm again lost with all the new layout/format. Still a massive new learning curve for me. I was I think overwhelmed at the results from all over the world and I simply can't figure the filters.

Yes.

Go to to Search > Records and scroll down to a box below 'Collection Title'. Type 'International' in the box and click on 'International Genealogical Index (IGI)'.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I have tried to attach 2 1909 Aberdeenshire press articles in case you haven't already seen them, but they seem too large so have transcribed them below.

10 Mar 1909 / Press & Journal : Dr. W. S. Park, Cape Colony.  Particulars have reached Aberdeen of the death of Dr William S Park which took place at Queenstown, Cape Colony, on February 11. Deceased, who was in his 44th year, was a son of the late Mr James Park, merchant, St Fergus. He was educated at the Aberdeen Grammar School and Aberdeen University, graduating M.A. in 1885. Subsequently he studied medicine, and after graduating received an appointment as assistant to Dr McLennan, Bedlington, near Morpeth, where he remained for nearly two years. About 18 years ago Dr Park went out to South Africa and built up a large and extensive practice in Lady Fyere. Latterly Dr Park’s health broke down, and he had just undergone an operation at Queenstown when his death occurred. Deceased was married to Georgina, elder daughter of the late Mr George Sim, Naturalist, Aberdeen, by whom (he had) and three sons, the eldest of which is 14, he survived. It was Dr Park’s intention to have visited, along with his wife, his native country during the coming summer, and his friends were looking forward to seeing hm. Dr Park was of a bright and happy disposition, a strenuous worker, and greatly devoted to his profession. It is believed that the anxiety to which he was subjected during the war in South Africa, told severely upon his health, and quickened the development of the illness to which he has succumbed.

16 Mar 1909 / Buchan Observer : I am very sorry to learn of the death of Dr William S Park , son of the late Mr James Park, merchant, St Fergus. I knew him long ago as a bright-eyed little fellow in kilts, who used to ask me queer, olf-fashioned questions in a grave and serious way. He was a hard working student, and I believe turned out a very capable medical man, and his early death cuts short a career that might have been distinguished in the profession. His elder brother, James, was also a doctor, and died some years ago. Both were promising fellows, and held their profession in the highest regard.
TULLOCHGORUM.

Another press article:  Peterhead Sentinel/01 November 1892: At Barkle East, Cape Colony on the 1st October, Dr James Murray Park, District Surgeon of Barkly East District, and eldest son of the late James Park, Kirktown, St Fergus, aged 37 years.
