George Edward PARISH born in Worcester in 1859

Peter Report 13 Nov 2017 09:25

I am trying to trace George Edward Parish, a Glover, who was my wife's great uncle and was the older brother of her late grandfather William Henry Parish born in Worcester in 1867.
He married Mary Ann Durant in 1880 and they had 3 daughters born in 1881,1883 & 1884 all of whom eventually married. His wife died in Worcester in1886 and his own father, Edward George Parish, was present at her death as recorded on the death certificate. The last trace I can find of him in any record is in the 1881 census after which he disappears completely. Any assistance in tracing him will be greatly appreciated.

I notice on earlier census son 'George' is known as Edward George, so need to look for that name also for a death?

Thank you both for all the information you have taken the trouble to discover and have now provided but which I was already aware of. Regretfully, even with this information, I am/have been unable to unearth any further trace of Edward George or George Edward Parish in any on-line records that I have access to. He seems to have vanished into thin air!!
Regards

You were aware of the details Peter, but it helps us to place the person being sought if we know where the remaining family were :-)

I can't see George after 1881, havng eliminated one possible marriage,
