Hi
Anybody with any info about William Parker....I think he spent part of his early life in an orphanage before going to Australia and returning to England by 1918 and marrying Annie Anderton.
Thanks for any help

Hi Carol - nobody reading this wlll actually *have* any info about William. If you browse a few threads (not just on the Parker "surname board") and read the opening instructions (or click on Help Clinic), you'll see that most info will come from fellow members who help out.

It's best to specify what info you are looking for.

If you want his parents' names -- do you have his marriage certificate? Did he name his father? Have you found his birth at FreeBMD?
