thanks prickyhollow and mike

Just to confirm the pairing

1889
DEMPSTER Helen - PARSLEY Charles W.
Liverpool, Our Lady & St. Nicholas & St. Anne Liverpool


PHolly, if only we could trust everything that was written on censuses, life would be sooo much easier.
Keeping up appearances was more important than the truth !

They obviously told a porkie on the 1911 then! ;-)

Births Sep 1886 (>99%)
Parsley Charles William Birkenhead 8a 53[06]


Births Dec 1888 (>99%)
PARSLEY Esther Helen Wirral 8a 42[14]


A bit odd that they married in Liverpool though isn't it?

Mmmmm !
Maybe they left it late ????

I looked for a marriage yesterday between Charles Willam Parsley and Helen Dempster...........but i couldn't find one!

According to a tree on Ansty, it looks like it could be your man

Charles William Parsley
Birth Abt Sep 1886 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England

Parents
Charles William Parsley
1860 –
Helen Dempster
1867 –

Spouse Lilian <<<<<<<<<<<<

Wife Lilian was born in Lancashire ..........so it makes sense. :-)

Brides not grooms tended to marry in their own parish.
Maybe she was from Preswich.

It may not be your Charles but I would have thought it was worth checking

n o mike i never saw it i would of thought he would marry birkenhead where he was born and family there

reggie have you got something against me at all i do use freebmd i just dont know or never knew charles wm married i never knew him and no family to ask

freebmd is there for all.............please use it

Following on from the 1901 that you say is correct...............

No I know it isn't your Charles on the memorial, that's why I mentioned it as I thought your cousin might have seen that one.

There doesn't seem to be any 'Parsley' who died in the war that came from Birkenhead though?
