Suffolk / Re: Brand PARR of Exning

I would say you have reached the ultimate brick wall - Elizabeth clearly kept her secret! And with an illegitimate child, there is no help from naming patterns among his children. I am about to start an attempt at organizing, as opposed to collecting, all my Parr information, so if I find anything at all about Brand I will let you know. I suspect he didn't know his father's identity, so the missing marriage record might be useless. By the way, I was glad to see you point out the 3 wives of Ellery b. 1706 and also debunk the Chatteris Ellery - a lot of misinformation out there. I've been arguing the Chatteris birth with a couple of "cousins" for a long time! And I've also found an "Eleary," if you are collecting various spellings of the name. Thank you for pointing out that the original Henery was probably an Ellery - isn't that an uncommon name for England at that time?
Good luck in your search!
