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)
