PARSONS

[orphanannie]

Hi, All,

Well, this really is a long shot.  I am trying to find out about Ivy Langdon really, but I think she may have married William Parsons in 1912. I am led to believe that her husband was killed in WW1 and that they had a son  named Louvain.  The closest I have come to anything similar is a James Louvain Parsons who was born in Cornwall and died in 1985 in S Glamorgan, but that is all I have.

Can anyone shed any light on this, please.

Regards,
Annie.

There is also this birth:

Gertrude L C PARSONS ,Sept q 1913, Camelford, Cornwall vol 5c pg 21

I wonder if she could be another child of theirs.

Eliza wife mar 60
Eliza PROUT dau wid 32

Samuel Langdon son s 18
Runnell ? Langdon son s 12
IVY LANGDON gr daughter s 7 b St Teath

I cannot find a birth for Ivy langdon   

The Marriage cert would give us the name of her dad....

Hi Toni 

I am not sure about Ivy sybil ... Nanny Jan had posted that an Ivy F Langdon married  William Parsons ...

In 1891
The family that I just posted also had a son William living with them. I found a marriage of William Langdon to either a Selina Dawe or elizabeth J May , dec q 1892, Camelford . I wonder if they were Ivy's parents ...will try to find them in 1901 , when Ivy is with her grandparents james and Eliza Langdon.

Eliza wife 50

Beatrice dau 21 dressmaker
James son 18 slate Quarryman
John 12 scholar
Samuel
wilfred R gr son 2
Silas GILBERT lodger widow blacksmith b St Columb
Everyone else born St Teath

in 1901... John and Samuel are still with their parents ... so William, James or beatrice could be the parent of IVY ... what do you think ?
