He couldn't make any connection with the Glanvilles of Abingdon. This was diappointing, especially as my aunt, who returned to live in England for a time about 35 years ago, told me about the aristocratic connections. Jay said that there were numerous Glanvilles, with a concentration in the south of England - eg Devon, Cornwall. My known Glanville ancestors did not live in those counties. There is a Glanville, enigneers, in Abingdon - I had thought of contacting them and asking them about their ancestors, but they didn't have an email at the time. I also have a son at Cambridge University and a couple of nephews in London, might ask them to see if they can find out more - but being in their 20's, they are not so interested. Sorry I can't help you out with the Parkers. Regards David
