thanks for your reply. i am doing my family tree so any information would be a great help. nora's married name was rayner. gladys' married name was fenner or fenwick,i havent been avle to find them as i dont have any dates, they did live at kings lynn tce.turner st.nottingham north east.william parker was an army pensioner,so i guess that would be in the 1st world war.this info i got from my dads b.cert.

Hi Hilary,

Looking at the 1911 census and doing a general free check brings this up;

HOUSEHOLD PARKER ALICE MARY F 1910 1 Nottingham Nottinghamshire
HOUSEHOLD PARKER WILLIAM HENRY M 1887 24 Nottingham Nottinghamshire
HOUSEHOLD PARKER FLORENCE ADALAIDE F 1889 22 Nottingham Nottinghamshire




Could this be your Grandparents with little Alice???

I can see that Florence Adelaide was born in Nottingham, but I can't tell were William Henry was born..... you need to look at the FULL 1911 census, and hopefully this will help with tracing William Henry.... if not the marriage certificate will confirm their fathers ages and occupations.
