Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 17 Send Message	I am trying to trace the family of my grandfather George Parker, who died in an industrial accident in 1921. I have very little information on his family other than his Sister Lucy registered his death. Her married name was Street and she was then living in Lee, Kent. Can anyone help me to find his family who I believe lived in the Plaistow area of London. Thanks
