Regular readers may know I have been trying to track down my great- grandmother Ann Eliza PARR. According to the 1881 census she was born at South Kilsey (sic) Lincs. She said herself she was born 12 May 1857. I know from her marriage certificate that her father was John PARR, and in the 1881 census he is living at Welton with his wife Lissey and his grandson. I knew my (great) uncle Charlie was named Charles William after her brother, so I looked for a Charles William PARR and found one born 14 August 1854 at West Rasen. The father was John PARR, and the mother was Sarah (formerly SHAW). I then found a marriage at Sculcoates registry office on 01 August 1877 of Charles William PARR and Eliza BASSETT, both living at North Ferriby (where my grandfather was born). Charles William PARR's father is again John PARR, and Charles gives his age as 22, which fits in with the birth certificate. One of the witnesses is my great grandmother, by then Ann Eliza TINDILL. I then looked in the BVRI and found John PARR (f William, PARR) m Sarah SHAW (f John SHAW) 31 Jul 1853 Goxhill, Lincs. So this looks like Charles' parents, but where is Ann Eliza? I wonder if anyone could please look at the Parish Records for North Ferriby to see if Ann Eliza PARR was baptised there rather than at South Kelsey any time after 12 May 1857? Then I only have to puzzle out where Lissey fits in to the picture! John -- John Rouse, searching for PARR and TINDILL in Yorkshire.
