WAGHORN PARKES, of Greenwich Kent

[avm228]

The father Edmund John Waghorn (40 in 1891) may have died as Edward Waghorn, 49, in Greenwich, Sep qtr 1899.

it may be that he used the names Edmund Stephen at certain points, or at least that family members used those names of him - certainly on the delayed (10 Apr 1906) Greenwich baptism of daughter Jane Caroline Waghorn, born 1891*, her parents are listed as Edmund Stephen (deceased) and Maria Jane, of 51 Hardy Cottages.

*The register is endorsed with a birthdate of 30 Oct 1901, but this is clearly a decade out; Jane was 9 in 1901 and birth reg was Dec qtr 1891 Greenwich.

Have just looked at William Parkes death certificate - his parents are given as 'Edmond Stephen Parkes' and 'Maria Holedge'.

That will be him for sure, he came over just after they got married and joined the Princess of Wales Own Regiment in 1909/1910 ish. I was looking at Ted being a short form for Edward or Alfred and a couple of others also. William's DOB is 14 August 1886

Where would i find that record of service?

Welcome to Rootschat.

I can see the 1909 marriage of William Parkes to Louise Maud Nelson took place in Hartley Wintney district (Hampshire).

When did they emigrate to Canada?

I can also see a William Parkes born in Greenwich joining the RFA in 1906 and serving until 25 September 1909. Next of kin is "older bro Edward address not known". Is this a reference to Ted Waghorn? If this is your man's military record he was using the name Parkes from an early age - he claimed to be 20 yrs 5mo old on 29 January 1906.

He had listed in his Marriage cert, that his father was deceased. Very well could have remarried

I have included what I have, the thing is Dad's mother is written by my Grandmother, i don't know when.

There is a photo of Jane Maria WAGHORN and written is “dad’s mother”.

Does the photo have Jane Maria Waghorn written on it 

[rosie99]

Thank you for clarifying the name on the photo.  I think that since I asked that question we have confirmed that she was going by the names Maria Jane.  That Canadian death certificate certainly confirmed that we had the correct Waghorn family
