George Parker

[isy]

I am trying to trace my grandfather - George Parker - I have got his death certificate (21/2/21)  registered by his sister Lucy Street but cannot find his marriage certificate (spouse Annie Hurry or  birth certificate.   I think his parents were Thomas and Mary and other siblings Ellen, Maud and Arthur.   Can any one help please

Hi Isy,

Welcome to RootsChat 

What else do you know about him? How old was he at death? When were his children born? 

[isy]

Hi Tati,

Thanks for speedy reply.

He was 40 when he died in an accident at work (Laundry engineer), in Ilford, Essex and he had 2 children at the time, my father also George and Edith.

[Tati]

Can you just tell us when the children were born, to help narrowing down the marriage year? 

[isy]

Sorry, yes George was born in 1917 and Edith in 1919.

Thanks

OK - have searched census in the meantime.

Is this the family in 1891?
RG12/1310 97 60
West Ham Stratford, Essex
58 Carpenters St
Thos Parker, head, 56, Boot Maker, b. Hunts Long Sutton
Mary, wife, Dress Maker, 50, b. Lincoln
Lucy, dau, 18, b. ??
Ellen, dau, 16, b. Essex Plaistow
Geo, son, 11, b. Plaistow
Maud, dau, 8, b. London Old. Ford?

Yes, that is the family but on the 1901 census Lucy has disappeared and another brother appears.

I have tried BMD to find certificates but to no avail

Hello Isy
I see from the 1901 census that George is shown as George T Parker.
Looking for a birth in the West Ham Registration District brings up a number of George Parker entries but only one with the second name beginning with T.

Births Sep 1879 
Parker  George Thomas     W. Ham  4a 70

What do you think?

I have searched complete BMD between 1914 and 1917 and couldn't find a marriage.

1901 reveals that he is George T

 Can anybody see the family in 1881?
