Marriages in Sherwill Devon - PARKER

[Laurane]

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

Thanks so much from Laurane who has "hit the wall" in Canada

Hi 

It seems that the best way to go would be to order the birth cert of Aaron parker, their youngest son.

Birth reg
AARON PARKER
Sept Q 1837, Barnstaple, Devon
vol 10 pg 36

Hi again

in 1851 Philip is working as a farm serv for Lewis Richards in Sherwill.

1851: Aaron is living as a lodger.

Sherwill:
William FRY head mar 55 tailor
Mary wife mar 61
Aaron Parker lodger 13 b Sherwill
John Parker Visitor lab b Sherwill

I wonder if aaron is related to the Fry couple?

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.

Hi Laurane

William Fry
Marriage Sept 1847, Barnstaple
Vol 10 pg 55

Mary Parker (no corresponding name either)
Marriage Sept Q 1847, Barnstaple
Vol 10 pg 35

So Aaron does not belong to William Parker and Mary??.  His mum was Sarah?

[Laurane]

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.

Hi Laurane

In 1861:
Aaron Parker b 1837, is living in sherwill with his wife ..SARAH...
She has been mistranscribed ... it says Mary but the originalk clearly shows SARAH wife mar 28,b Swimbridge.

the original 1861 census reads

South Molton
Aaron Parker head mar 24 ag lab b Sherwill
SARAH wife mar 28 b swimbridge
Mary DAU 4 b South molton
Elizabeth dau 1 b south molton

hope that clears it up for you

would you like me to recheck the other census ....

hi


Aaron Parker married Sarah Kingdon
Dec q 1858
South Molton vol 5b pg 773

Prudence Parker was b c 1811,  would it be more likely that she is william parker's sister ...ie: aaron Parker b 1837, his aunt. 

Also I am a little confused ... you said Aaron born 1862 is married to Sarah. It's Aaron b 1837 who is married to Sarah Kingdon.

I hope I am not confusing the issue >>>LOL

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
