Do you have a copy of your dads birth certificate?
It will give his parent's names
-
no, all i know is he was born 05 08 1943 and died on 09 12 1997,
he was married to Frances Luke, 1944-1994
married on 24 06 1961 and thats all i have to go,
i was hoping i might be lucky and find family members who know
more than i do

Try to get a copy of his birth or marriage certificates which will give his parent's names. That will allow you to go back further generations
If you are trying to get in touch with descendents then you might find them on GenesReunited

I've been a member on there for ages, not sure how it works though, will take a look later thanks :)

Thanks :). The name Johnston rang a few bells,
I wasn't sure of granfathers name, William was name of his
1st son, so that's why I put William, then I remember the name
Harry, li its the right family then he a son harry who died young
He would've been few years older than my dad, (1943)
Thanks for your help :)

Not too rare though , I have a William Luke born approx 1857 in England marrying into one of my main lines .... He married Janet Dewar and they had 9 children all born mainly in Lanarkshire area

A few in Denny, Stirlingshire too.
John Luke, a Paper Manufacturer lived at Headswood House in Denny, died 24th March 1898.
To see other Lukes (buried/are listed on Gravestones in Denny Cemetery) have a look here:

Hi, I am Henry Luke's Granddaughter, my great gran was Lillas Luke from maryhill. My granddad Henry died when my father was 11 years old. I dont know a great deal about the history on this side of my family. I know my grandad Henry had brothers Brian, Ian and Billy and a sister Nora, I dont know much more.
