Hi all I hope someone can help me find my grandfathers death. He is George Robert Parker who was born in 1867. I think he died at the home of his son Bertram at 31 Lancing Road, Croydon. Surrey as that is what I have been told. I have check FreeBMD deaths from 1867 until 1940's but nothing shows up. I have been told by my cousin that she thinks he was alive when she was a child and she was born in 1953. I tried both George, Robert, & George Robert but nothing. He married Rose Hannah ( Roseanna ) Harper or Gomm ( she married as a Harper but was born a Gomm ) on the 16th May 1887. I hope someone can help me as I am hoping to rescue the grave from Croydon Cemetery who have put a temporary hold on 2 Parker graves that are due to be reclaimed so I can give them the details to see if one of them is my grandfather. Colin.
Well GRO for a lot of 20th century had second initials only not names This is only George R I can see fitting birth year period and hardly likely that your cousin remembers him but 1953 is close to her birth George R Parker abt 1866 Jan-Feb-Mar 1953 87 Surrey Mid Eastern 5g 481 Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-07-07 6:55 AM, trucker1948@cox.net wrote: > Hi all I hope someone can help me find my grandfathers death.
