Hi,

Yes I think this might be the birth and I shall have to send for the cert.
Sorry about name confusion, husband and I are both writing these! Its Rob's family.

If you have time could you look for Albert Henry Parker's birth in 1844. Census says he was born in Kensington 1844. He is the above person's father

Thanks for the help,

Margaret

I'm getting a bit confused - you sign some posts as Margaret and some as Rob!

So what about that birth I've posted?

Hi,

I have the death cert and he died in 1935 in Willesden and the cert states 56 years old just no sign of birth.

Hi MarieCeleste,

Yes I think this is the baptism and I want to order the actual birth cert but cannot find it.
Any thoughts?

Regards

Hi Rob, is this the baptism you mean?

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: Henry Hubert Parker
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 16 May 1880
Father's Name: Alfred Henry Parker - labourer
Mother's Name: Mary Ann Parker
Parish or Poor Law Union: Notting Hill St Clement
Borough: Kensington and Chelsea
Register Type: Parish Registers

I'd say his name is definitely Henry Herbert on original, but father's name is written as Alfred (could have been misheard?)

Address is 31 Hunt Street.

There are three births in London area 1877 - 1879

Hi

Having problems finding birth of Henry Herbert Parker 1880, father Albert Henry Parker mother Mary Ann Thomas. Found London baptism 16 May 1880 might be typo on names.
Many thanks

From the list above it looks like this Isaac married Elizabeth Smith

ISAAC PARKER
Male

Parents:
Father: HENRY PARKER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages:
Spouse: ELIZABETH ANN SMITH
Marriage: 20 MAR 1838 Saint James, Westminster, London, England

Not necessarily your family but there is no marriage for Isaac Parker and Mary Thomas so don't be tempted to copy that other tree.

Mike * Report 4 Sep 2010 19:25

The tree on ancestry may have mixed up the name of Albert's mother with that of his wife. ( married Mary Ann Thomas 1866)

If this is Isaacs marriage ... there is no Mary Thomas

Check out the age on the marriage cert which should also give his father's name and aoccupation.


Marriages Sep 1866

PARKER Albert H Kensington 1a 57
THOMAS Mary A Kensington 1a 57

EDIT :
I see from safc that his father on marriage cert was Isaac.
