Hi
I am trying to find info about William Parker, who I think was born in 1844 in Derbyshire. He married Sarah Hickling in 1874 and probably died in 1890 in Leicestershire. The only census that I can locate him is in 1881. I am trying to find out the names of his parents. Please can anyone help?
Thank you

Andrew

This is a very common name. His marriage cert should have his fathers name/occupation if known to help the search in earlier census records
