Hi

Thanks very much for these. Looks like he was a bit of a black sheep. He was my grandmother’s father’s brother. She was orphaned at the age of 3. Her mother’s side of the family ended being responsible for her and from what I’ve found out about this side of her family I understand why.

Thanks for these.
2 of these tie in with what I found on the Prison register index.
Fraserburgh in 1905 and Insch in 1909.
No entry for 1883 but he had been a soldier so it’s possible he could pay the fine.

Thanks again

Thank you for that.
Don’t know how I missed it when I was looking.
Pour soul drowned.

I’m trying to get information on William Park born in Kintore in 1860 to Mary Snowie and John Park.
I can find him with his parents and some siblings on the 1871 census in Inverurie.
The next find is a series of entries, 13 in all, for admissions to Aberdeen East and Craiginches prisons. These span 1888 - 1909. His address is often no fixed abode, the corporation lodging house, a couple of addresses in Aberdeen city, Insch and Fraserburgh. Occupation is always Labourer. (See attachment). Clicking on full record takes me to a site that asks for payment, £5.00 to get information. Does anyone know of other means?
Can’t find a marriage or a death.

I’ve remembered that last time I spoke to Alexander’s nephew he said all his aunts and uncles had died. Makes the 1968 unlikely. I’ve asked if he remembers a wedding?
