Hi looking for any info on my father john mitchell c 1944 as yr of birth married to catherine beveridge moyes gray.
Heres hoping John. :-)

Any idea of a location of any sort? UK , elsewhere?

He was from North Queensferry but last known whereabouts was Edinburgh. He would be around 72 if still living.
I think his mother's name was Catherine Rusell

Marriage:

1961 MITCHELL JOHN
GRAY CATHERINE B M
INVERKEITHING /FIFE 432/00 0015


If you order the marriage certificate, it'll give you parents names for both of them, and ages, also exact date of marriage.

Catherine Gray's birth:

1943 GRAY CATHERINE B M F INVERKEITHING /FIFE 432/00 0009

Various possibilities for John's birth, assuming from the marriage record that he didn't have a middle name:

1940 MITCHELL JOHN M LOCHGELLY /FIFE 405/02 0055
1941 MITCHELL JOHN M COWDENBEATH /FIFE 410/01 0125
1941 MITCHELL JOHN M LOCHORE /FIFE 408/00 0115
1942 MITCHELL JOHN M BUCKHAVEN /FIFE 459/02 0369
1943 MITCHELL JOHN M CULROSS (FIFE) /FIFE 418/0B 0004

The Cowdenbeath and Culross registrations seem the most likely, if he was born in North Queensferry.

You'll need to buy credits.

There were no marriages between a Mitchell and a Catherine Russell (with spelling variations) 1920 - 1950 anywhere in Scotland.

But there's this death - don't know if there's any link or not:

1971 MITCHELL CATHERINE F
Other surname: RUSSELL
F Age: 93
HAYMARKET EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/01 0701
