Hi List, Below is the reference from the NEHGR article regarding a marriage between John Parker and Anne Snagges/Sibley. They were married in Romford, Essex. There is a PERHAPS in the statement - indicating that this might be the John Parker and wife Ann from Great Burstead. It also notes that there are numerous deaths of women named Anne who were married to John Parker in and around Romford,Essex. The statement makes no indication that this is indeed the mother of the Parker brothers that are discussed in this article. Just another possibility. Any other thoughts? Jo Hogle p.89 25. The parish registers of Romford, Essex (FHL microfilm 571, 183) record a marriage in 1613 for a John Parker to Anne Sibley (Boyd's Marriage Index, Essex, on FHL microfiche 6, 026, 994 (sub Parker) and 6, 026, 996 (sub Sibly). Presumably she is the Anne Snagges who married previously at Romford, in l606 Richard Sibley (or Sybley), who was buried there 21 June 1611 (ibid., sub Sibley, and FHL microfiche 6, 026, 996, sub Snaggs; Romford Parish registers (burial of Richard Sibley). Perhaps the marriage of John Parker and Anne (Snagges) Sibley at Romford is that of John and Anne Parker who resided at nearby Great Burstead. However, the Romford registers record the deaths of several Anne Parkers in this period, as follows: Ann Parker, widow buried 26 Dec. 1616; ___, wife of John Banes alias Parker, buried 4 March 16l7/8; Anne wife of John Parker alias Banes, buried 28 April 1618; Anne wife of John Parker buried 7 April 16l8; and Anne wife of John Parker buried 7 April 1628. Given the profusion of Anne Parkers at Romford in this period of time, three of whom had husbands named John, it seems likely that the buriel record of one of these Anne Parkers relates to Anne (Snagges) Sibley who married John Parker there in 1613. If correct, then the marriage of John and Anne Parker who lived nearby in Great Burstead would have to be sought elsewhere.
