Please can someone see if they can find Elizabeth Parker b 1836 in East Halton lincs on either of the above census.
I know she had a daughter mary b 1862 in East Halton. Elizabeth never married.

I am trying to find out who her parents were. The reason being Mary had a son called Everrett and I wondered where the name came from.

Thanks

All the best Jane

If Elizabeth never married have you got her in the 1881 census, or the place and date of her death?

Thanks

Not finding her in 1861, pretty sure she's not with her parents. She's with her widowed son-in-law Stephen Grey in 1901, but not with him in 1911.

Thanks for your help patchem.

Sorry I should have added the 1881.

1881 census

Elizabeth PARKER Head U Female 44 E Halton, Lincoln, England Housekeeper
Mary PARKER Daughter U Female 19 E Halton, Lincoln, England Unemployed

Thanks for the 1871 census. Because her brother was Everet I would think this is the correct family. It would also be the reason Maryused the name Everet for her children.

Thanks again

Jane

Her brother wasn't Everet - that was her son on 1871.

Sorry, I misread your opening post, yes he was Mary's brother.

Thanks you for the 1841census patchem.

Flip that information ties in with the information I have re Stephen Grey. Although I didnt know she was living with him on the 1901.

thank you both very much for all your help.

Thanks for that information. I will add it to my notes.

Please may I ask another question. Matthew Parker married someone by the name of Mary. Do you have any idea what her surname was.

Thanks

Jane

I don't think her brother Everet's birth was registered, at least not under Parker. There is one born in Norfolk in 1866, but he died in Norfolk in 1874. Your Everet appears to die in Lincolnshire in 1876.

Mary appears to come from Ashby, which is some distance from East Halton. Or it is Ashley, which i cannot find.

Wondered if this is birth of Alice:

Alice Parker, "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975"
Name: Alice Parker
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 12 Mar 1833
Christening Place: HALTHAM UPON BAIN,LINCOLN,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Matthew Parker
Mother's Name: Mary
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C02888-1
System Origin: England-ODM
GS Film number: 504233

But that does not help you find the marriage of Matthew and Mary.

Thanks Flip You have been really helpful. I couldn't tell you anything about Everet. I didn't know he existed til today.

Thanks patchem

I didn't know anything about Mary till today and I'm not sure where Ashby or Ashley are so I will have to look this up. I think I am going to have to look into this a bit more.

All the best

I see the family Tree site is playing up again. I have just added your information to my notes for each person and it refuses to save. I will have to try again later.

Pat's christening for Alice looks promising, there also a christening for the older child (from 1841 census)
