Parker, Spital Tongues, Newcastle
« on: Tuesday 25 July 17 17:54 BST (UK) »
There are two Parker family members I am struggling to locate as adults.  Two daughters of
James Parker b 1845 at Allendale and
Jane Russell b 2 Dec 1852 at Unthank, Tweedmouth.

Missing daughters are:
Ann Parker, b Jan 1883, bap 8 Feb 1884 St Andrews Newcastle.
Margaret Parker b Jan 1886, bap 24 Feb 1886. I believe she was also known as Bunty.

Both are on the 1891 census living with parents at Morpeth Street, Spital Tongues, but not on 1901 census. The family split after the death of their mother Jane in 1908. On the 1911 census Margaret is single and living with her brothers James W J Parker and Alexander at Holly Hall, Sandhoe, Northumberland. Cannot locate Ann on 1911 census at all. 

Question is what happened to
Ann after 1891 (believe she left home in her teens)
Margaret (Bunty) after 1911 census

An older cousin believes Margaret may have been living in Gateshead and married at a later date. Without her married name I have no idea where to look.

The other Parker siblings were:
James William Johnson P 1876-1957
Margaret Jane 1878-1883
Thomas Johnson P 1879-1949 (In 1914 military brother James W J of Holly Hall named as NOK).
John George 1881-1899 (tragic death)
Hannah 1888-died 1960s South Africa unmarried
Arthur 1890-1971 (WW1 military documents probably burnt as not located)
Alexander 1894-1953 unmarried

I have a distant memory of Whitley Bay and Bunty being mentioned for some reason.

Arthur is the only one with living descendants that I am aware of. Clearing up the mystery would be great.

I would be very grateful for any information or help.

Thanks
CARA

PS It just occurred to me. Siblings very upset at tragic death of John George aged 18 years in 1899.  It could be then that Ann left home.
