Rachel Report 22 Aug 2009 11:46

I am trying to find information on Robert Parker 1889 and Fay Parker 1894 both born in Abingdon. I would like to know when they died and whether they married and had children. Their father was George Parker 1866 and their mother was Hannah (maiden name unknown) who was also born in 1886.

Any details on these people would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Rachel

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. Could you also tell me who Walter Parker 1886 married (he was married twice).

Fay was a boy, which did confuse me at first!

Thanks again

Thanks so much!!

Gertrude was married to a Walter Reeve who died in WW1 i have been told that Walter Parker was a cousin but i am just trying to find the links between them. I presume Walter Reeve 1873- 1916 is related somehow to Hannah.

Thanks x

Rachel Report 23 Aug 2009 14:17

I am trying to find out if Walter Reeve 1873-1916 had any brothers and sisters and if possible who his parents were.

I would also like information on Hannah Reeve 1866. I know she married a George Parker and had 3 children in Abingdon but would like to know about her siblings and parents.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes that is the correct Hannah, thank you. I was wondering whether you could tell me the marriage date of James 1818 and Rebecca 1825? or her Maiden name?

Thanks Dea!! You have been a great help.

If you get a chance could you possibly see whether you can find anything for Gertrude Mabel Clarkson. Im looking for her birth record and have been told she was born in 1883 in the London area. I would like to find out about her parents and siblings. I have her marriage, death and children records.

Thanks again!
