Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your last message. Very interesting. I'll try and explain who's who so far on my tree......


James Parsons-----------married--------------Sophie Elizabeth Milligan born 1852 Herts died 1904/05?
Their daughter is Sophie Parsons ( known as Sophia ) ( my great grandmother ) born 18/3/1885 St Pancras London died in 1946?-----------------she married (27/3/1910 ) George (sometimes Henry) William Woodland ( my great grandfather ) who was born 6/10/1982 St Giles South, Middlesex, he died 12/2/1950
They had a son called Frederick Albert Woodland ( my grandad ) born 12/6/1920 died 2/6/2000---------------------he married (26/12/1942 ) Violet Emily Sayers ( my grandmother ) who was born 13/9/1922 and died 23/9/1999.

I'm currently searching the Sayers side of the family. I have more info on the woodland/Parsons side at present.

Hope that made sense Joanne.

Hi, Ive just started my family tree and also think I am related down the line to James Parsons who rode Caractacus to victory. I have traced back to him and his mother and father and have some but limited info about their parents.

James Parsons born in 1846 married to Sophie Elizabeth ( Milligan )  who had a daughter called Sophie ( Sophia ) Parsons born 18Th march 1885 St Pancras, she was the mother to my grandfather Frederick Albert Woodland, her husband George William ( Henry ) Woodland.

All of the info that you have mentioned agrees with what I have found so far and takes me back 7 generations. I have James Parsons parents as Ann Bailey born 1815 and Thomas Parsons born 27 Aug 1809. His parents as Mary and John Parsons. For Anne Bailey I only have information about John Bailey her father, no info can be traced so far about his wife.

May be a long shot but feel if this is all correct, we could have a link somewhere on the tree?

Would love to hear from you, thanks Joanne.
