I want to find information on the family of Mary Ann Parrott born in Seven Oaks Kent in March Q of 1841. I think the father may have been called James. Other children born included Catherine 1845, Ellen 1847, Samuel 1838, John 1843, James 1850 and William 1852. Any information would be really helpful
Thank you

Thank you for trying to help Giggsy,
According to the marriage certificate of Mary Parrott her father was called James. The later census returns (when she was married to John Redhead) state she was born in Sevenoaks in Kent circa 1842. The GRO ref suggests she was born in 1841 in Sevenoaks.
I have hit a brick wall - although I was able to find her siblings by using GRO and referencing the mothers maiden name of Everest. It is of course possible that her father normally used the name Samuel - but used his correct name of james on the wedding certificate .

The marriage was definitely Samuel Parrott (Parrett) to Maria Everest

One explanation for Mary calling her father James on the marriage certificate is perhaps that her father died when she was young and her mother remarried to someone called James and it is this name that she used.
You need to see if you can find the rest of her family in 1861 as in 1851 there is a Parratt family in Greenwich with a father James and mother Mary Ann so similar sounding families can easily get mixed up.

I think this family living in Chelsea in 1861 is a more likely match for the Mary Parrott that marries John Redhead
James Parrott 46
Eliza Parrott 42
Mary Parrott 18
George Parrott 13
Daniel Parrott 11
Jane Parrott 9
James Parrott 6
Emma Parrott 4
Samuel Parrott 7/12

Thank you Giggsy and Davidft. I think you could be right Davidft - the James Parrott in 1861 does seem a possibility. Just surprised that each census return says Mary Redhead (nee Parrott) states her place of birth as Sevenoaks in Kent.
Thank you for all your help

Samuel & Maria Parrott and their family , including Mary born 1841 , all appear to have emigrated to Oregon in about 1853. There are numerous records of them which seem to confirm that. I think the family in Chelsea is more likely.

Hi I am a relative of Maria Everest/Parrott/Rhoades/Quinn - Maria had three husbands the last being James Quinn. Maria Rhoades married James Quinn, age 49, on March 23, 1863, in Marion County, Oregon. He applied for citizenship in April 1871. Nothing more is known of him; he was not listed with Maria Quinn and her family in the 1880 census.
I found that information on Find a grave. I would say that given that her birth father died in 1857 and her mothers second husband left town, that it could be the reason she gave James as her father's name.
My Great, great grandfather was her brother James Everest that married Eliza Churchman.
