Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Marriages in Sherwill Devon - PARKER
« on: Friday 17 August 07 15:24 BST (UK) »
That is a possibility - Prudence Parker b. 1811 was the dg of Alice Phillips and William Parker and she had siblings every two years till 1822 - then he had two more in 1834 and 1837 (Aaron Parker).
I don't have a death for Alice Phillips, but she could have died 1815 giving birth, then he remarried Mary Ackland.....but how to prove that!!. Guess I would have to find a death cert for James Parker who died in 1902 (b. 1820) to see who his mother was. They all seemed to have stayed in Shirwell which might make it easier.
Thanks for the "extra" mile......Laurane

Thanks, Steve......is there any mention of ages on this marr? Old William Parker had a son William b. 1815 who died before 1841 census. But there is a child Elizabeth b. 1834/5 living with "strangers" (at least I haven't placed them yet) and I suspect she might be a daughter to William Jr as she is with William's sister Prudence on a later census. Or she is a daughter to Prudence, who did not ever marry the father of all her children.
The dates fit with the birth of this Elizabeth and HIERN may be HERN which is another family name.
Any suggestions on solving this dilemma? Isn't Shirwell in the Barnstaple district? Where is Pilton in relation to Shirwell.....I don't have a good map of the area.

I meant Aaron Sr marr Sarah - and thanks for the correction on the mistranscription. No, Prudence is the daughter of William Parker who was b. 1780 and marr Alice Phillips in 1797 - they had at least 6 children, and I am thinking that they also had John Parker b. 1801 who is the Visitor on the 1841 census w/Aaron. And there may be more.......wish these guys had married and registered LOL

Aaron Parker b. 1837 is son of William Parker and Mary......Aaron's son, Aaron Jr b 1862 is married to Sarah.....but on the 1861 census, Sarah is called Mary, so I assume she is Sarah Mary, or the census taker asked "who's the mum?" and he said Mary - who was his mother. Who knows when it gets that far back. I would like to get Aaron Sr's b/cert but I cannot afford those high prices in UK to get one. Will check online for more info on the family.
Aaron's stepsis Prudence is my ggg.GrandMother, but she was never married to the father of all her kids (Phillip Hartnoll), as his wife still lived around the corner from them and wouldn't divorce.

Thanks for the info....I suspect that mother Mary (Parker) remarried William Fry abt Sep 1847 Barnstaple - William Fry married, but there is no corresponding spouse name.....time frame fits though.
Tracked Aaron Parker through to his death, then his mother Sarah remarried Samuel Fairchild.
Phillip died before 1861 but there is no death registered in Devon.

Devon / Re: BEER family
« on: Friday 10 August 07 21:25 BST (UK) »
I moved to Canada from England via Australia and found some of my BEERS had reached here before me. 
I have Mary Beer b 1827 or Monkleigh who married James Parker and stayed in Sherwill.
Ellen Beer b 1839 who married John Milton
James Beer b. 1847 who married Bethia Hern who went to Canada
As far as I know they were Bible Christians and moved to Ontario where I have tracked them down.
Any connections to Beer, Wonnacott, Hartnoll, Hern out there?? thx.

William Parker remarried Mary ?? before 1832 and had son Phillip in 1834. This would be Sherwill or Barnstaple area.
