William Parker

[jspurs]

Hi
I am a new member and I am trying to research one of my ancestors, William Parker. I think he was born in February 1884 and his birth was registered in Loughborough. Apparently he spent time in an orphanage before being sent to Australia. He returned to England and in 1918 married Annie Anderton. He died in 1964. I am trying to find the names of his parents so that I can research my family tree further. Please can anyone help with any information?

Here's his Birth Index entry - with info on it you can obtain his Birth Certificate which will show at least his mother's name ..

Hi
That would be great, if you could look it up.
Thank you

I doubt that the Library will have the full info that you get on the Cert ?

[diddymiller]

as its a later one it should have but still better to check than send first.

presume you mean a Parish Register, not a Register Office entry ?
