But now, it gets difficult; my Great Grandfather, Alexander Park was married to Barbara Cook, no problems there, but on the marriage certificate Alexander's father is "reputed" to be Peter Park deceased and his mother is named as Jane Baxter. The date for the marriage is dated 1888 and his occupation is ploughman. This marriage took place in New Pitsligo and is the first instance I can find of my Park family in New Pitsligo. Now I know from family history that my G G Alexander held several occupations, groom, labourer on the roads, hall keeper and gamekeeper. His son, my grandfather, George Cook Park, bred dogs, horses and was a master-watchmaker. He was also the man who opened the garage Park's garage and cycles.
