Hit brick wall with this person!
Can not find his date of birth or date of death.
He was born in Bristol aera abt 1868, went on to live and marry in Manchester on 13 Nov 1889 in Bootle, at which time he was a store keeper. Then moved to Bassingstoke (126 May Street) and occupation at this time was, Railway contracter timekeeper.
Does any one have anyideas as to where I could look next!
Any help would be much appreciated

Hi paula
Your second George Parker looks more like the one I'm looking for, Father George fits in beter to what my wife thinks that she remembers

What children did they have? Is it likely that any of the sons could have died in WW1? Sometimes you can look up a death on CWGC site and find out fsmily details.
