Notes for (Jennifer) Jane McNeill
On Scotland’s People marriage index her forenames are Jennifer Jane.

And Scotland’s People then shows a probable birth index record:

Surname Forename    Gender Year   Ref     RD Name
MCNEILL  JENNIFER JANE  F         1929  168/CL 40  Consular Returns

FindMyPast also shows this record but with a modest misspelling though includes that the birth was in Shanghai:

First name(s) Jennifer J
Last name McNeil
Birth year 1926-30
Place SHANGHAI
Country China
Volume 24
Page 139
Record source GRO Consular Birth Indices (1849 to 1965)
Record set British Nationals Born Overseas 1818-2005

The Shanghai birth was confirmed in the Telegraph’s obituary of her.

My Guess is that the St Giles district is in Edinburgh.  This website confirms this: <https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files//research/stat...ide-Edinburgh.pdf>;.
