Find Ancestors

I am trying to find any information about the families of Mary Jane Parkinson who lived at Headingly in 1892, or her cousin Joseph Charles Parkinson of the Reform Club London.

do you know when thye were born, where they were born?





That is more helpful to us searchers than where they lived in a particular year!

sylvia

The information that you sent about Mary Jane Parkinson is the correct person, I have her will dated 1892, her address being 76 Cardigan Road, Headingly. I would like to know how to find her cousin Joseph Charles Parkinson of the Reform Club London, who was mentioned in the will. I have faxed direct to the Reform Club but as yet no reply. I do not have a lot of details on her father Abraham Parkinson born 1807 (married Martha Bownas 1828) or his father Abraham who was a wine merchant, this was recorded on his death certificate in Australia.

Mel it's wise to give some information in your subject lines not just say 'information'. Name date place for the person you want information about. Your other is the same

It is also wise to give the information you have not wait until somebody spends time researching and then guesses and then say they have guessed right, lol.


'I would like to know how to find her cousin Joseph Charles Parkinson of the Reform Club London, who was mentioned in the will. '

Where have you looked for him? do you know how they were related? do you know how old he was then? if he was a first cousin he must be a son of her father's brother.

more tooth pulling!!!
