John Henry Thomas Parr 1898 (AKA Jack, Dick)

[keithgparr]

John Henry Thomas Parr was my father's brother.  He was born in Hoxton, Hackney, Shoreditch; appears in the 1901 census as "Dick", but appears to have been referred to as Jack.  I've found a baptism record for him which gives his birth date as 30 October 1898.

I have just found a record in the 1939 register which may be him, married to Amy Aney Newman 1895, I've ordered a copy of the marriage certificate.  I've not found any children from that marriage (yet).

Apart from that straw, I've been unable to find any other records.  Might anyone else have more luck please?

It's a similar story with his sister, Ellen Jane Parr 1897, after the 1901 census - nothing ...

Thanks

Keith

Did the 1939 say there were any closed records to indicate if there were others in the house?

[LisaRobinson87]

Having looked myself Groom it would appear there's only them to there no closed records stated

@Lisa

Please can you say to which birth you are referring?  And maybe where you found it?

@groom

No, as I read the record there were only two people at that address.  The birth date of Jack H Parr matches exactly.

Thanks

I found the birth on FreeBMD search by typing Parr and mother maiden name as Newman

[groom]

Keith, the reason Lisa hasn't given you a name is that someone born in 1931 could still be alive and we are not allowed to mention living people on here. As she said you can find it on Freebmd.

When did they marry?

[keithgparr]

Thank you both, I've found the birth now.  Unfortunately no baptism as yet, which might have given the father's name.  Need to order a copy of the birth certificate ...

The marriage was 2Q1931 in Lambeth, which fits nicely ...
