Herefordshire Completed Look up Requests / Laysters/Leysters Parish Records Look Up
« on: Friday 06 November 15 16:28 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have access to Laysters/Leysters, Herefordshire Parish Records to look up the baptism of Thomas Parker 25th December 1813, mother Ann Parker (traced on IGI but no father mentioned)?

Is there any annotation on the original parish record to confirm this as an illegitimate birth and/or provide the errant father's name?

Many thanks ribbo39.

That information has cleared up a lot of confusion: The first wife of John Giles was also called Elizabeth and hereto it had been difficult to establish the natural parentage of the various children within the Giles family.

Thanks StanleysChesterton but I am sure of overall date parameters of 1810-1815.

I have already looked at Familysearch; I believe that their marriage records for this parish start in 1813. If Familysearch data can be relied on, the date range could be narrowed to 1810 to 1813.

Does anyone have access to the parish records for Clanfield, Oxfordshire to trace a marriage between John Giles of Lechlade and Elizabeth (surname unknown) of Clanfield at some point between 1810 and 1815.

Thanks mazi and LizzieL for the Laysters/Leysters IGI lead which seems to be a good fit.

The fact that the mother of Thomas Parker is given as Anne Parker with no father would seem to point in the direction of an illegitimate birth. Much now think about; I'll need to corroborate the IGI info with that from primary parish records.

Thanks for your reply Lizzie L.

I agree that he would have to have be quite brazen to cite an imaginary father with a surname other than his own.

Family History Beginners Board / Different Father's Surname on 1850 Marriage Cerificate

I have a marriage certificate for the 15th Dec 1850 marriage between Thomas Parker (36 / bachelor / farmer) and Elizabeth Miles (24 / spinster / - ) in Tenbury, Worcestershire. The place of residence of both of them is given as Old Wood.

The name of the groom's father is given as Thomas Swift and his profession as 'farmer'. He is not noted as being deceased.

Which of these is the most likely;
(1) Thomas Parker's mother remarried Thomas Swift and her first husband, the father of Thomas Parker, was named Parker, but Thomas Parker was brought up by Swift and regarded him as his 'father'.
(2) Thomas Parker's mother remarried a Parker and her first husband was Thomas Swift, the father of Thomas Parker.
(3) Thomas Parker was illegitimate, his mother was a Parker and Thomas Swift was the father
(4) Thomas Parker was illegitimate, his mother was a Parker and 'Thomas Swift' is made up name as his didn't know the name of his father.

I cannot trace a Worcestershire 'Thomas Swift' in the !841 census nor any subsequent censuses. I can't trace any local Swift/Parker/Unknown marriages 1800-1820.
