No sign of him in the IGI or in the 1881 census in northern Scotland. There is a marriage of a Robert Riach to Lilian Isobel A Parker in Brentford in the 3rd quarter of 1903. (GRO reference Brentford Sep 1903 Vol 3a Page 123), and a Lilian Isabel A Parker was born in Pontefract district, which includes Purston Jaglin, in the first quarter of 1884. (GRO reference Pontefract Mar 1884 Vol 9c Page 122) If you are really keen to know, you could get this marriage certificate and the birth certificate of one of the boys to confirm whether or not this is the same person. You would then know the name and occupation of Summerville's father, which might be helpful. HTH Anne
