Francis PARKER (1827-1892)
published by daveerasmus - 8 years 8 months 8 days ago. | | Thankyou both (Nathan and Pat) for your thoughts. I appreciate your help.
You are quite right, Pat. The marriage was in Wick St Lawrence. Quite why I relied on my (increasingly unreliable) memory and put Hewish I do not know. Ah well. I will contact Somerset Heritage Centre about the Wick St Lawrence Overseers Accounts. Unfortunately as I now live in Nottingham a personal search is not practicable. Wick St Lawrence was quite a distance from High Ham. I am struggling to understand what made him move there. As far as I can establish there was no previous family connection with Wick.
No I have not found Francis in the 1841 census. His parents, Samuel and Ann, were living at Broadacre, High Ham but he was not with them. And I have failed to find him anywhere else yet.
I have tried searching the Newspaper Archives on several occasions in the past without success. I have just completed another unsuccesful search.

Francis PARKER (1827-1892)
published by Pat Hase - 8 years 8 months 8 days ago. | | According to our transcriptions the marriage of Francis PARKER and Sarah Luffman BATT took place at Wick St Lawrence not Hewish. Their first children were also christened at Wick St Lawrence. It could be that the Overseers' Accounts for Wick St Lawrence might note when he first arrived - either because he was receiving help or became a rate payer of the parish. Have you found Francis PARKER on the 1841 Census?

About the first paragraph, what about http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ You never know what will come up. There are usually court cases, adverts & other things that may mention a relative, & they're always adding more.

published by - 8 years 8 months 16 days ago. | | | Thank you Pat, for looking at the Cemetery. I am interested to hear there is a specific record for burials from the Asylum. I am hoping to be able to look at his Asylum records fairly soon, as I believe that there may be reasonable records of those in the Asylum available. I have been quite lucky with Worcestershire records in another case, I know that they might be able to answer quite a lot of questions - not least about his specific affliction. I know that Epilepsy could be counted as Lunacy in those days.
Yes, the continuing Meadow Street connection does seem particularly odd after so many years, but as far as I have so far discovered, there is no family link to the CARPENTERs. | |
