I am looking for my Great Uncle Philip Clark

[Nanaki]

He born in 1923 in Scotland and his family come from Scotland and he died in 2006 in Oxford (Bicester) and he has joined RAF around 1945 second world war and married to my great aunt Nora Beeby born in 1921 and died in 2005 in Oxford after they had first daughter then went on two more daughters and I am looking for his family in Scotland, I know his father has been married to Philip's Mum in Edinburgh. His middle name could be either Stanley or Sidney I cant remember which one. Was told that he has a twin brother?

His father called Alexander Clark and he was born in 1861 and died in 1943, and his wife was Mary Kathleen Achurch, born in 1889 in Sandon, Herts and died in 1970 Bray On Thames.

Could you look them up for me if you can find them?

Thank you very much.

Hi

I only have limited access to scottish records. You would need to go to the Scotlands people website - http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?402
and purchase some credits to view, (unless a kind member with access can help you.

I have tried to narrow records down to help. As far as I can see there are only two records for the birth of Philip in 1923, these are in Edinburgh City, one in St Andrew district and the other in St Bernard.

There are 10 records of --?-- Clark born 1923 in St Andrew but only two in St Bernard, one being Philip, the other is for an Alastair. If you know the name of Philip's twin, that may confirm this is your family.

Hi Lisa

I don't know what resources you use, but if you go to free BMD for England and Wales - http://freebmd.org.uk/
and click on search.
select the type of record you want, ie birth marriage or death, in this case birth.
Put the father's and mother's surnames in the boxes.
this is all you need if one of the names is uncommon. You may need to put in a christian name and/or time period and/or district to eliminate names if they are common. I start with a minimal amount of info and work up, as I like the results to confirm info I still have, if you see what I mean.
If you put the surnames Clark and Beeby, the only name which comes up is the birth of Lynne in 1961.
Once you get past 1900 free BMD is not complete, so by using the same procedure on ancestry or find my past, I got the other results.
