Hope someone can help.
I am helping son in law with his family tree.
I have found on the census 1841 to 1891 his Parsons family.
I would like to know who the females are.
1841 census St. Peters Port, Jacob Parsons wifes Chr. name is Rachel. Jacob was born in England Rachel born Guernsey. Their first child was aged 7 on the 1841 census so born about 1834. Marriage may have been about 1830 on.
Their son Alfred Parsons is married by 1881. On this census St. Sampson his wife is Emma, their first child is aged 3, so the marriage may have been around 1875 to 1878.
Most grateful for any help

Sorry I was slow in replying. Yes Alfred Knight had a sons Harold, 1883 - 1947, Walter 1877 - 1964, Frank (my grandfather) 1880 - 1968 and Myra, 1891 - 1924 a nurse, died of TB. I have managed to trace the Parsons back to Kilmington Devon: James Parsons b possibly 1730s married Anne Loveridge b about 1739 in Membury, Axminster. Their 4th child was Thomas Parsons born Kilmington about 1765. He married Sarah Vile and the were the parents of Jacob. I think you know the rest from there. Let me know if you want further information and I'll try and be quicker in replying next time! Graham

It wasn't unusual in the 19th century for people to make their middle name the surname of a friend, employer, parton etc. I believe the Knight family were friends of the Jacob Parsons. I do know June and I believe I taught Christine Parsons when she was at Intermediate many years ago. There are quite a clan of Frank Parsons descendants - many now moved from Patea to be based in Wellington, and the South Island. Another branch of the Harold Parsons offspring are in the Cambridge Tauranga area.
I'm in Palmerston North 06 357 1377. Graham Parsons

Hi, had a few spare minutes on one of my rare visits to the Priaulx Library in St. Peter Port today.
The marriage details as recorded are as follows, taken from the Town Church register microfilms (Town Church is the main church in St. Peter Port, Guernsey)
Jacob Parsons, son of Thomas Parsons, of Ash Hill in the County of Somersetshire, and Rachel Lihou, daughter of Nicholas Lihou, of St. Peter Port, were married this 8th March 1832 by Banns.
I hope this helps a little
Andy.

Looking at other posts in this thread I noticed Alfred Knight Parsons, presumably the same man that married Emma Perrett on April 29 1874. Emma is related to some of my father's cousins here in Guernsey, as his Uncle Sam Forsey married Gladys Perrett dtr of William Burt Perrett.
Small world!

Yes indeed, my great Grandfather married Emma Perrett, my great grandmother. We must be related! We do fondly wonder if descendants of Jacob Parsons - or indeed Thomas, Jacob's father, are still in Guernsey. All Alfred Knight's lot went to New Zealand!
I hope to visit the Priaulx Library next year if we manage to get to Guernsey.
Cheers
