daza ... have you been in contact with a man called Derek ... he also comes down from John Park.
Do you know what happened to John after 1881? He was widowed and left with three of his children elizabeth, Mary and Sarah while landlord of the Kings Arms in Hawkshead he then married Margaret Gibson and had another family .... but him and margaret seem to vanish after 1881. I was trying to help Derek find out what happened to them but we didn't have much luck.
Would you mind getting in touch if you have any information and I'll put you in touch with Derek. Jean
No I haven't been in contact with derek, but obviously our family tree's connect with john park so it would be interesting to hear for him. Thanks for the info about him at hawkshead, but unfortunately when his daughter sarah married Edward Peel in October-December 1876 that is where my family tree jumps to the Peels and then on to my surname Mawdsley. So I haven't really followed the park family past 1876 (yet), but hopefully I will soon. Many thanks again for the info
