Find Ancestors

I have found another Parker a James Edgar Harrison Parker born abt 1886 in Barnoldswick. Have been trying to find who his parents were but have looked on Parish Records for Lancashire and cant find Barnoldswick think it must have come under Yorkshire in those days.

Not baptised in Barnoldwick unless there are two with the sames names:

Jean, how do you think this connects to your other Harrison Parkers?

Which family are you working back from?

Is there where Barnoldswick came from?

Angelina's MN wasn't Harrison (unless she had been married before):

Marriages Sep 1879
MINNIES Angelina Skipton 9a 65
Minniss Angelina Skipton 9a 65
PARKER Joseph Skipton 9a 65

Jean, Registration districts and sub-districts don't follow normal county boundries and they have both changed over the years

Roy

Angelina not married before going by this baptism:

Baptism Date:27 Jul 1883
Baptism Place:Baldhu, Cornwall, England
Father: Joseph Parker
Mother: Angelina
FHL Film Number:1545297

If this is James's father in 1871,
Joseph Parker
Age:11
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1860
Relation:Son
Father's Name:Joseph Parker
Mother's Name:Caroline Parker
Gender:Male
Where born:Thornton, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish:Thornton in Craven

Joseph Parker 51
Caroline Parker 48 b Walmsley (which is in Bury), Lancashire.
Grace Parker 22
Tabitha Parker 18
Joseph Parker 11

Then this could be where the Harrison comes from:

Marriages Sep 1845

Harrison Caroline Skipton 23 562 PARKER Joseph Skipton 23 562

Yes this is to do with the Harrison which appears in my Parker tree wether its the right one Im not sure.

Any thoughts on all the info people have taken the trouble to find for you?

What research have you done yourself?

The Harrison who appears in my tree was named Harrison Wesley Parker thats why Im trying to find the Harrison maybe I should look for both unusual christian names

Hi Reggie
I am looking at all avenues Lancashire and Yorkshire for these ancestors also any Parish Reords though some other records in other counties arent as good as the Lancashire ones

I had the Barnoldswick off the Lancashire Births Marriages etc though I couldnt check on the Parish Records
