Well spotted Prickles.

So looks like William is Sarah's brother-in-law. So probably Ann has died?

I just wonder if the age on the death posted earlier for Ann Parkey is correct?

Marriage: 13 Jul 1873 St Stephen, Audenshaw, Lancashire, England
William Parkey - 37, Stripper, Widower, Audenshaw
Hagar Senior - 34, Spinster, Audenshaw
Witness: Henry Wilson; Sarah Ann Wilson
Married by Banns by: J. Hornby Butcher, Vicar
Register: Marriages 1867 - 1874, Page 196, Entry 392

This is from a pm from William, and I have asked him to return to here:

witnesses on marriage certificate is William Parkey father a farmer
and brides father John Lomas a carter.

So William Parkey is a farmer....

Ooops......you already posted it Patchem.

Yes, I thought you had lost interest.

PM from William

Thank you for your reply. I think this is the correct line to follow.
Ann died at the age of 28.
William is shown as a lodger in the 1871 census.
What happened to James he is not on the 1871 census but he is mentioned in the 1881 census as a lodger with a family in Manchester.
Thanks again
William

Sorry..........i had to go out last night.

It seems this family couldn't decide if they wanted to be called Parkey or Parkin!

What address did James give on the marriage cert?

Hi William

Thankyou for your message. It is best to reply on here so that other members can see your reply.

What leads you to believe that James's parents are not the above William and Martha?

Just so we can rule that one out.

Prickles.

In case this is of any help to you.....apart from the 1871 census, the brother Alfred appears as "Parkey"
