__________________
the first two children can be found with a mother’s maiden name of Dewar. But the reported (
Peerage.com) Fiona, born in 1942, cannot be found on any index, not even a British overseas registration; she was reported to have married a
David Alexander Whitaker, but no record can be found of such a marriage, not even a marraige between any (female) Dewhurst and any (male) Whitaker; they are reported to have had a daughter Lucy B Whitaker, but the English Lucy Whitaker birth in 1971 has a mother with a maien name of Barry.
Let’s try Scotland’s People:
There is a Fiona Mary Dewhurst born in 1943 but no maiden names included. But finding the marriage with ‘Fiona Mary’ makes it more likely this is her:
Surname Forename Gender Year Ref RD Name
DEWHURST FIONA MARY F 1943 685/6 4 Newington
And Bingo, There is a marriage:
Surname Forename Spouse Surname Spouse Forename Year Ref RD Name
DEWHURST FIONA MARY WHITAKER DAVID ALEXANDER 1968 387/ 192 Perth
And for the bierth of Lucy B Whitaker:
Surname Forename Gender Year Ref RD Name
WHITAKER LUCY BELINDA F 1971 685/5 2084 George Square
And for the marriage of Lucy Belinda to Alan J Normile in 1999:
Surname Forename Spouse Surname Spouse Forename Year Ref RD Name
WHITAKER LUCY BELINDA NORMILE ALAN JAMES 1999 390/ 179 Perth
And this is said to lead to the births of Ben, Sophie and Tom:
Surname Forename Gender Year Ref RD Name
NORMILE BENJAMIN HUGH M 2003 390/ 117 Perth
NORMILE SOPHIE EMMA F 2006 390/ 382 Perth
NORMILE THOMAS DAVID M 2010 450/ 2 MILNATHORT
(I would never have found all that without the help of Peerage.com)
