Wiilaim was born in Scotland and eventually lived with his family in 1 Borthwick Rd Boscombe Bournemouth. In the 1911 census his occupation is given as Journalist/Chief Reporter for a daily newspaper. He was married to Ella Parsons. I would be grateful for any information on William or his siblings Margaret Park and Jeannie Park, and a half brother Mitchell Park
