There only 11 names on the Groomsport war memorial on the church doors. No Parke.

The public memorial records that Lieut J B Parke served abroad (presumably WW!). Not a death.

There is a newspaper snippet which has a death in 1974., Drumbeg.
A Family tree shows this man with mother Gertrude. Is that your man?

the son died in 1941 going by the newpaper article
Which newspaper article?

I can only reiterate the information in several trees - death 1974.

It would be worth checking out.

Is this from the Belfast Telegraph, 2 June 1941? if not please give COMPLETE details as has already been asked on other thread. If article is from this issue of the Telegraph- do you have the actual article or are going by a transcription or snippet from an online search?
What I'm getting from free search of Find My Past Irish newspapers is this- which appear to be two separate articles-

That is indeed the end of one notice and the start of another. The one with the Groomsport address is a Thanks announcement from the famiy of a Mr A Nelson. The rest of it is an In Memoriam announcemnt for a soldier named Griffin.

Yes, Shaun, both nothing to do with PARKE but waiting for OP to confirm if this is the article.
-
Hi that is the article but only had snippet from paper sorry again
-
Can you remove my posts i got the wrong person
-
I can't begin to understand how you could have gotten the newspaper snippet to be about a Joseph Beatty Parke dying at Dunkirk in 1941 but threads don't get removed.
