Hello jansmith
Thankyou very much for your time and the information you have got for me. I only have the info on Grace through her grandaughter whom i found on here by chance. I will see if i can get hold of her again and see if she has her birth cert or marriage details and then maybe i can go on from there.
I have just gone back on some of the info i haveand ahve charles and louisa with the searle family, I really need to sort this out
I am getting a bit muddled now.
Thankyou
Debbie

And -- there still simply was NO Grace Parsons born in Devon 1910-1915. No matter what anyone knows is right.

And there was no Grace Parsons born after 1911 with mother Gooding.

You need Grace's marriage certificate to find out what her surname was, and what her father's name was. Or even what she claimed they were.

Deaths Dec 1896
Parsons Ellen Louisa 25 Newton A. 5b 70

Dawlish is in Newton Abbot reg dist.


I just totally doubt that the George Daverage Parsons who married Elizabeth Gooding in St Thomas dist in 1887 is yours.

I think Ellen Louisa Searle who married Charles Parsons was Rose's mother, and she died shortly after Rose was born.

This would quite likely be Rose, born in the same reg dist as the Parsons-Searle marriage:

Births Dec 1894
Parsons Rose St. Thomas 5b 39

and

Births Dec 1892
Parsons Florence Emily St. Thomas 5b 35

So how about getting a birth certificate????


That Rose would have been 6 at the time of the 1901 census, as in the Searle household in 1901:


Civil parish: East Dawlish
Registration district: Newton Abbot

Mary Searle 51
Florence Searle 31
Frank Searle 17
Florence Parsons 8 - granddaughter, born Exmouth
Rose Parsons 6 - "


that probably being where her mother died.

So you just started over cold with the same obviously incorrect info in a new thread on a new board.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1155535


In 1901 Rose Parsons is with a Searle grandmother.
It SAYS Rose is her granddaughter on the census.
This isn't speculation.


So this will pretty certainly be Rose's parents' marriage:

Marriages Dec 1891
Parsons Charles St. Thomas 5b 93
Searle Ellen Louisa St. Thomas 5b 93


You lit on the Parsons-Gooding marriage for some reason. Why?

And there you are in your other thread saying that Rose's mother was Sarah/Elizabeth (Gooding) -- is there actually some evidence of that?


Rose's grandmother was a Searle. There are a couple of Ellen Louisa Searle births in Devon that could fit. This is probably her in 1891:

Name: Ellen Louisa Searle
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Relation: Servant
Where born: Dawlish, Devon, England
Civil parish: Littleham


This is the household in 1881 in Dawlish:

> Mary A. Searle 32
Florence Searle 12
> Ellen Searle 10
Virgenia Searle 7
Elizabeth Bright 64


Don't you think?

The 1901 Walter - who of course may be a big red herring - married:

Marriages Dec 1911

Daverage Walter B Leicester 7a 630
Gibson Clara Leicester 7a 630

Births Mar 1887

Births Sep 1879

Possibly red herrings all -- but there just isn't a Walter Parsons, for instance, to match anywhere!

There were three Grace Parsons-s born in 1913, in Dorchester, Cambridge and Walsingham districts. None had mother Gooding.

Debra, you do need to provide some references for all this. 'Cause it just doesn't make sense!

Married after the births of Walter and William?

So one of the two wasn't a parent of the two boys?

Hmm. Grace born 1913 was a sister of William born 1882?

It's possible ... but that's a 31-year spread ... not really highly likely - ?

Can you give us some reference for Walter and William?

Hello janeycanuck
Thats as far i got, i put it that Mary was maybe a grandparent but then i got confused thats why i wanted the 1911 to see if they were still all together then I thought Roses mum may have died early,

Crossed in the post -- the girls are granddaughters of the Searles, Ancestry says.

The only George Parsons + Elizabeth Searle marriage

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

was in Whitechapel in 1869. That seems unlikely ...
