Hello DonnaMarie. In my extended family tree, I have a Sarah Parr (b.1836) the daughter of James Parr (b. 1815) a file cutter, and brother of John (1819-1896). They were both sons of William Parr (1787-1862), baptism at Windle, son of John Parr (1756-1840), son of Thomas (1721-1804), son of Henry (1688-1734), son of Thomas (1639-1689), son of William (1585-1646). All related to the Prescot and/or Farnworth (Widnes) area. Pretty sure the connections are right and hope this helps.
Cheers, Mike.
