I think it's the right family, though: father William, mother Sarah, children John, Joseph, Lissie, William, Mary, James, Francis, and George. (I think Lissie = Sarah Elizabeth.) In 1900 William and Sarah are living in Greenfield with son George. And I found the following death record: Greenfield 1902 vol 529 p 22 William R. Parker, died Aug 27, age 68 yr 8 mo, cause gangrene, residence/place of death Greenfield, occupation retired, born England - Shefield, father Joseph Parker, b Shefield, mother unknown, born unknown Hope this helps! jp
