I am looking for help with a Mary Jane Sinclair Parfitt - supposedly born 1855 in scotland. On her marriage cert. to Robert Wood in 1875 her father is named as Henry Parfitt a mariner. In the 1881 census a Rose Parfitt born in Liverpool in 1824 is staying with Mary Jane and Robert and is a widow and looks as if it it says mother on the form but I seem to have hit a brick wall! The handwriting on the census looks like Purfitt. I have tried looking at Scotlands people for Mary Janes birth but found nothing.Henry doesnt seem to turn up in any census and I am not sure where he was born. Philippa

Hi Phillipa
I have asked the moderators to move your post as it does not appear to be related to the Frome Parfitts.
Presumably your Rose is the one in Toxteth Park in 1881 with Robert and Mary Jane Wood

Thanks for that I wasnt quite sure if it was in the right place! I think Rose is a step mother as there was a HUGH Parfitt and daughter Mary Jane with a housekeeper Rose Logan when Mary Jane was 15 and various documents said she was born in Scotland but why her father was Hugh in that census then Henry on MJS marriage cert seemed not correct

I notice on the 1911 census for Mary Jane Wood it says she was born in Helensburgh Dumbartonshire
On the 1871 census you mentioned it says Edinburgh ..I did notice on the burial record Rosie posted for Rose Parfitt it gives her address as 57,Toxeth Street burial 11 March 1888 Anfield Cemetery
Section 13 grave 602 .Burial for a Henry Tudor Parfitt address 130 Park Street burial 22 April 1879

His son John Gilmour Parfitt married 1876 in Liverpool he was a widower and occupation mariner
He died 1928 Isle of Man John Gilmour Parfitt
He is with his sister and her husband on the 1891 census Liverpool Elizabeth and Joseph McCarthy
Still no further with Mary Jane ???

Thanks Rosie, I had looked at Henry Tudor Parfitt but can find no sign of a daughter MJS Parfitt. In the 1871 census where Mary Jane is living with father "Hugh" Parfitt a widower, her birth is Edinboro, Scotland, his birth is Bristol but hard to read. Housekeeper is Rose Logan from Liverpool.
In the 1911 census MJS is correctly married to Robert Wood and her birth is Helensburgh Dumbartonshire. I will keep hunting. Useful to have the Henry Tudor Parfitt and Rose Parfitt same gravesite.
-
The Henry Tudor Parfitt who married Elizabeth Catherine Blomer must be the father of Henry Tudor Parfitt as on 26 Feb 1840 Henry Tudor Parfitt, Mariner, Master of the Lady Charlotte, steam vessel has a deed of separation with Elizabeth Catherine Parfitt, formerly widow of Captain Charles Bloomer in Wales.

Have tried looking on Scotland's People with just putting her Christian name in but nothing jumping out .She may have been born before the statutory records in 1855 if we could find them on the 1861 census records it might help .Henry T Parfitt was still in Glasgow around that time
