I am looking for any references to a George Henry Parr. I know that he had two daughters at least, Catherine Jane born in 1891. and Louise (Louisa?) who was possibly older. I have had some information from the boards, I am just trying to confirm details, marriage, wife's name, etc. I have a feeling that he may have married at least twice. Paul

There are lots of them , they tended to live randomly with the other side of my family "the Staniforths", they liked to go missing (regularly), occasionally had an illegitimate child or two, and passed it off as an aunt or uncle, lived in large groups, oh, and I recently discovered that if one of their children died, the next born was named after the deceased...... Need I go on?! Good luck if you get em! Sarah
