Trying to find Parker

ALFRED JOHN PARKER I am trying to find living relatives of Alfred John Parker born in Newington in December 1879. He is almost certainly my grandfather. He married Beatrice Shepherd in 1902 and I believe had a number of children. It is possible that he moved to Cornwall, but was originaly from the Bayswater area of London where he met my grandmother around 1922. Most importantly I would like to know what became of him as his daughter is now 83 and keen to find out. He had an older brother Robert and may also have had a connection with Lewes on the south coast. He claimed to be a building inspector at the time although I've heard that he was a surveyor. He also went by the name of Jack. He abandoned my grandmother shortly after my mother's birth so it is a side of our family about which we know very little of certainty as my grandmother would not speak of him at all.

Hi,

We have a Thomas Parker (known as Tim) who was born 07.03.15 in Kingsbridge, Devon - he was my Great Uncle. Sadly he was killed in France on 27.05.40 (a POW at Le Paradis). His Parents were James Parker and Anne (Reeves) Parker. Apart from this I have no other information and am desperately trying to find out if he had any siblings. It's a distinct possibility that he may have had family in Cornwall. If this sounds familiar in any way please get in touch via this site.

Kind Regards
Carole Souch
