One of my persistent family history queries - is anyone else researching any of these families? PARK 1780-1890 Researcher: Steve Hayes PO Box 7648, Pretoria, 0001 RSA [email protected] PARK, William. In 1852 Matilda PARK married Richard VAUSE of Hull in St Saviour's Church, Bath England, and soon afterwards they left for Natal. Her sister Octavia married Frederick Robert HAWKINS at the same time. Matilda, her mother and two sisters are in the 1851 census in Hanover Street, Bath. In her obituary Matilda was described as the "youngest daughter of the late Wm PARK of Bath, formerly of Belfast and Quebec, Canada, granddaughter of the late John MARTIN of Messrs John Martin & Co, Belfast". William PARK died in 1844, probably in Bath. Another daughter, Anne G. BARRETT, died in New York in 1872, aged 51. I am looking for the date and place of birth of William PARK, and the names of his parents. Also, similar information about his wife, Mary MARTIN, and their children and descendants.
