There is this marriage on ScotlandsPeople; viewing it should give you both sets of parents. Sorry, but I don't have enough credits to view:

1 1931 PHILLIPS FRASER CLARK PURKISS INA ST GILES EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/04 0113

Have you found your father's birth registration? Do you know when and where he was born?

As Paula said, post some details and see if we can help.

hi debbie try leaving search open when it comes to area then whittle results down by dob, could your gran have been brn under another name ie; grans mum was married before then remarried therefore grans name changed by adoption??or possibly nans mum was unmarried at the time your nan was brn therefore nan would have had mums maiden name , nans mum may have married a purkiss after your nan was born??? if you leave more detail eg dob & marriage the people on this site will be able to help more they really are very good at finding answers & solving mysteries & have helped me a lot hope this makes sense best of luck paula

Hi can anyone advise me where to go, ive no details other than name of my dads parents, im only slightly sure that my gran Ina nee Purkiss and grandad Fraser Phillips were born in gran edinburgh and grandad possibly fife , my dad, his brother and sister all passed away and no papers were found, ive been through tons of possible records on this site and the ancestry site spent a fortune on as near as spellings and havent been able to connect anyone,i found a grandson of my grans brother who thought brilliant someone would have info but he has had no luck either, i cant trace grans birth so no parents, and grandads parents were supposed to have come from st peter port relys went there to search records thinking more chance but not one thing, is there anything else i can do or look into ??????????
grateful for any advice.
