G'day
Looking for any family connections to and photos of a Temperance & commercial hotel & coffee house at 106 Briggate, Leeds, Yorkshire, owned or operated by the Parker family over 1837 to 1880. The Parkers may also have owned/operated a temperance hotel at 1 Wood Street, Leeds in this time
Names that crop up from UK Census and Leeds Trade Directories records are William and Elizabeth Parker and children Thomas, Edwin, Harriett, John, Henry George.
Elizabeth's maiden name is possibly Lazenby with marriage to William in 1828.
Edwin possibly married a lass by name of Emma Oates with a daughter Helen Maud who may have married a solicitor/law clerk by name of Arthur Stirk. Edwin probably ran the hotel after his father (William) died in late 1870s.
Thomas and Harriett may have died young.
I am specifically interested in Henry George Parker (b about 1835) and whether he migrated to Australia 1851-1853.
Cheers
Michael
