Title: burton bentley parry
Post by: mofav on Monday 12 August 13 10:11 BST (UK)

I am researching the Parry family for a friend. His grandfathers name was Burton Bentley Parry. I found his birth 1910 in Kilkenny, Ireland his marriage 1940 in Kensington and his death 2000 Barnet, Middlesex. I have not been able to find his parents. If any one can help I would be most grateful.

This family in Goslingtown in 1911 looks likely:

Transcribed as Barton Parry. Father's middle name Bentley

The father is Dulas Bentley Parry. Google the name for lots of military references

Hi . Thanks again for the info on Dulas Bentley Parry. I googled his name and found military for him, very interesting. I found his parents, Frederick William Parry 1843 and Rhoda Sophia Holder 1841. I have gone back the next generation for Rhoda but can't find parents for Frederick. I don't suppose you could help. Thanks

Just tracking Frederick back through the censuses it seems likely that his parents were John, a farmer, and Selina Parry. Per the 1851 census (Hentland, Herefordshire), John's birthplace was "Dowlas" which could be the origin of his grandson's forename Dulas.

Seems to be a strong Parry connection with Dulas going back to the 16th century

Hi ShaunJ
I have spent ages trying to find the surname of Selina and a marriage for John and Selina but have come up with nothing. I found the 1851 census but that doesn't give any answers. Don't suppose you know anything about Selina.

I suggest you post a request for assistance on the Herefordshire board, referring back to this thread

I do not currently have the function to private message you, but if you are willing, can you please private message me back.
Thankyou,

Thanks Conahy, I did know that but didn't want to randomly span posts... But maybe that won't be an issue now   :)
