[Tea1]

William Parkes & Sarah Harris Married 16th April 1770 Halesowen, Worcester

thanks for any help

[ColC]

There were two William Parkes, baptised in Hanbury, Worcestershire.

18 Mar 1750 parents Joseph & Mary
29 Apr 1746 parents Isaac & Ann

Only one Sarah Harris in Worcestershire at Bromsgrove 28 Apr 1744.
Parents Samuel & Rebeckah (Independent).

However Halesowen can be a difficult place to research as it has historical ties with adjacent Shropshire and borders Staffordshire. Both Parkes & Harris are more common in these counties than Worcestershire.
