Parks of Paisley/Glasgow/Dumbarton
My great great grand parents are James Park and Agnes Reside, and were married in 1835. One of their kids was my great grandfather, David Park, who sometimes went by the name Reside-Park. He was from Paisley in Renfrewshire andmarried Mabel Munro (of Alloa?). They had at least two children, Catherine and James. I would like to hear from anyone who has any additional info. Also, there was a James Park (born in Glasgow,Jan 1835) of the Bengal Artillery who was killed in action in India in 1858 and received the VC.My great uncle James was always reputed to be a holder of the VC although I have found that this is not the case. Although he did have a high decoration from WW I, I started thinking that maybe the other James is a relative and somehow his story passed down into family lore and the two were confused. I would welcome ANY info on the above subjects as I know precious little and have unearthed conflicting info on the Park-Reside marriage.
