Author: CatweazleCastleSaburac Surnames: Parker, Beaumont Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.australia.vic.general/11696/mb.ashx Message Board Post: George Parker was a famous swordsman (ex-Life Guards, 2nd regiment) in the 1850s and 1860s, and he performed at many towns and cities in Victoria, NSW, and Tasmania using the stage name of "Professor Parker". He also spent a few years touring NZ from 1863-67 with his wife, the popular serio-comic singer and actress, Mary Ann "Annie" Beaumont, before they returned to Sydney in October 1867. George had a fatal accident on 15th Feb 1871 at Walhalla, Victoria, where he was thrown off his horse - see inquest report in the 25th Feb 1871 isue of The Empire (page 2, column 3 "The Fatal Accident to Professor Parker"): http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63116304? There's a huge number of news articles and advertisements on Trove for both George and Annie, and I've started to collate these in a Trove list: http://trove.nla.gov.au/list?id=59098 But I haven't been able to track down their British origins. George was said to be about 42 years old when he died at Walhalla, and he is thought to have arrived in Australia sometime in early 1853; he featured prominently in the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, and gave numerous swordsmanship demonstrations at Savile House, Leicester Square during 1851. I haven't been able to track George down at any of the Life Guards barracks in the 1851 census, and he doesn't even seem to feature in census returns for that year elsewhere in the UK. And I have even less information on Annie. It would be great if anyone can help with the following:- - Confirmation of George Parker's military career (the 2nd Life Guards references just come from newspaper ads or articles) - Any details of George and Annie's family history before they arrived in Australia - I'm not sure when Annie arrived in Australia, but the first news reference I've found for her is in 1863 at Ballarat. - Confirmation of where George was buried - I assume he was buried in Walhalla cemetery, but I can't find any details for this nor can I find a news report of a funeral. - Any details of what happened to Annie Beaumont after George's death - the last reference that I can find is in 1876 when she was performing in Dunedin, NZ (she apparently returned to NZ in late 1873 or early 1874).

"margaret i didnt fully know her married name. mum mentioned a shield for her ..then she mentioned the name fenton" I had a reply typed to you, and the computer crashed. Name: Margt Theresa Shield (You were asking about her on another query) Mother: Ellen Murphy Father: Jno Knox Birth: abt 1869 Death: 1932 - Fitzroy, Victoria As mentioned on the other query, there was a Margaret Teresa KNOX married in 1885 to Thomas DECIS. You could purchase that marriage certificate, to verify, if she was your lady, or not. In 1931, the Footscray electoral roll has Margaret and James Edwin SHIELD living together. In the early 1900's he is on the electoral roll with Mary Jane SHIELD. There seems to be a family tree on Ancestry for James Edwin SHIELD (died 1933 Footscray), but it does not mention a second wife, named Margaret. Also, if you were to purchase the 1932 death certificate above, it should list the names of her husbands, and confirm, if she was your lady.
