Completed Mary Parker - b. 1832 in Cumberland?
« on: Monday 29 October 07 18:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I was trying to find out who Mary Parkers parents were. All i have is that she was born in 1832 somewhere in Cumberland OR Westmorland? She married Isaac Dawson (b. 1842) in Kendal in 1865 and had 3 children: Benn, Harry and Maggie.
That's all i know i'm afraid so any other info on her and possibly parents would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Erica.

Hi Erica,

Just to add slightly more information about Mary in 1891 she claims to have been born in Hawkshead, Lancashire.

This will no doubt add to the confusion - sorry!

Kind regards, 

Pels

Here they are in 1881, this seems to confirm the birthplace stated for Mary in 1891.
