Trish I remember most of what you have researched, but I did not remember the part about PEC. I am strongly continuing my research in that County and I'll keep you posted if I find out anything about your Thomas Parr. Now turning to Daniel Parr. When you have time please let me know what you found out about the Daniel Parr of Cramahe Twp. That is not far from PEC where the Daniel Parr I have researched lived in the mid 1800s. I have no information about where and when this Daniel Parr died. Arnold trish@eParrs.com wrote: > > Hi Arnold, > > I though you and I had written regarding this issue before.

Hi Arnold, I though you and I had written regarding this issue before. I am webmaster for the "Proud to be Parr" website and descendant of Joseph Parr and Jane Kennedy. My Joe is related to Young Parr (Charlotte Lawson), Robert Parr (Ann Love) and John Parr (Delilah Gunter) who had land in Cramahe Township in the early part of 1800s themselves. At this point in time, we have all of the above named, listed as children of James Parr and Nancy (Ann) Montgomery who had land in Cavan Township, Ontario. Not all of the children we that we have listed as theirs are noted above, and to me, there are far too many boys for one family. So far, I have not found one Parr family with as many boys maturing to adulthood and marrying as we have suggested with this particular family. It has long been a "gut feeling" that my Joe does not belong in this family for several reasons. One of which is that his first born son was named Thomas and his last born son was named James. I have a query on the Parr Bulletinboard asking for any information on a Thomas Parr who, it was said, had immigrated to Ontario and settled in Prince Edward County. I have not found any record to back up that claim. I too have discovered a Daniel Parr in early 1800s Cramahe Twp. (I believe it was) records, while trying to find this elusive Thomas Parr. The Thomas I refer to was "kicked off his land" in County Cavan, Ireland "for too much wine and woman." His living descendant suggested I look in the Prince Edward County area of Ontario as he was always told Thomas DID have children, and did immigrate to Canada. Bet you're saying . . .

Trish I am really interested that your Thomas Parr settled in Prince Edward County for a time. Any information you have about him and that county I would be really interested in.

Hi Gary, Once you've had the opportunity to verify if your Thomas Parr was ever from Ontario or not, please, let me know. Am looking for a Thomas Parr who was born in Ireland and immigrated to Ontario sometime in the 1800s. Apparently, that Thomas Parr settled for a time in Prince Edward County. If your Thomas turns out to be THE Thomas I'm looking for . . . and he just might be, that might explain why my great grandfather Joseph Parr (born Enniskillen, Ontario 14 Jun 1843) moved to Michigan 1877. I've not discovered what drew my greats to moving to Michigan from Hibbert Township, Ontario. My great grandparents returned to Canada shortly after Michigan's Great Fire of 1881. They settled in Wolseley, Saskatchewan, where they now rest in peace.

His ships record says he was from Kek which is on the other side of Hungary from Vesprem. His name was Jozsef Sos and that is the only spelling we know of his spelling it. I also have traced my husbands grandmother's side, Bodnar, from Kovacsvagas which is just north of Budapest. I have that side back to the early 1700's.

Re PARR deaths on the Titanic - there is a family legend that one of my late father's relatives when down with this ship.
