Find Ancestors

Thank you all for the information you have provided. I'm amazed at the find re the administration of Louise. It didn’t come up on Ancestry when I'd looked to see if there was a will/probate. Am going to save that link for any future reference.

Regards

Kathryn

You could also look in the 1939 census for William R Parkers in those towns where the deaths occurred, to try and eliminate a few of them.

i.e.
William R Parker 1875 Welton R.D. Lincolnshire (Parts of Lindsey)

William R Parker 1876 Brighton C.B. Sussex

William R Parker 1876 Birmingham C.B. Warwickshire

Free to search - you can order through the site, although this is only an Administration it may still tell you something?

PARKER Louise Henriette otherwise Noreen of 69 Primrose Hill Court Hampstead London died 21 December 1970. Administration London 19 May. £1173

Hi, unfortunately I don't have Louise's death cert. All I have is her Interment details. Thank you for the death details. I'll have to send off for the death certificates and possibly Louise's death cert. Thank you for your time and information.

Dea x

Good morning all GR Members. Firstly may I wish you all a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. Secondly, thank you for all your help and contributions to my threads throughout the past year.

I am still on the trail of William Rossini Parker. I now have the ER from 1939 which I obtained from the Find My Past site.

It gives William listed as living at Flat 1, 53 Riding House Street, Marleybone.

He is show as being Parker. Rossini. W date of birth 23 December 1876. His occupation is given as being a Travelling Theatrical Musician. William is living at this address with his wife Nora Parker aka Noreen there are two different dates of birth for her. You will note that she was born Louise Noreen Horette Noel. I have found my Great Aunt in later ER's given as Nora and Noreen. Anyhow, as you will also perhaps note she died in 1970. After the 1939 ER, I do not find William listed with her in any of the future ER's. Following on from the 1939 ER the next ER I find is in 1945 up to 1961. There is no sign of William in any of the ER's after 1939. Were there any ER's listed between 1939 and 1945, if so can anyone please help?

I am basically trying to find what happened to William after 1939 and when he died. Believe may I have tried.

Also, when William marries Louise in 1916 he is given as being a Widower, aged 39 years and place of residence at time of marriage as being 12 Eltham Street, Bradford. William was living in 1911 and 1912 at 184 Harrow Road, Paddington and is given on the 1911 Census as being Widowed.

Hope I am not confusing everyone. I tend to jump all over the place.

Any help as ever would be greatly appreciated. I do have a copy of the 1939 ER but obviously can't attach it, but if anyone would like to see it then please let me know and I can attach it to a PM.

Kind regards

Kathryn

Thank you again for your replies. Andrew I think you are right as I have the marriage for Handel to an Elizabeth Feather. That marriage didn't last long did it?

Any help with the other queries would be great if anyone has any ideas pleae.

Kind regards

perhaps that 1898 birth is William's son

Hi all, thank you for your replies and information contained therein. I note that we have two different mothers for William. I have Elizabeth but I also note that you have found another marriage for Handel to Grace? Is anyone please able to find William's first marriage, whether he had any children, also whether he had any children with Louise and I also cannot find a death for him. He is not bured with Louise as I have today received details of Louis's interment and she is in a public grave with others none of them being William. Sorry to ask so many questions but I have tried myself.

Kind regards

Kathryn
