Title: Clarice Maude Parker born 1896 Canterbury, New South Wales
Post by: Cockneyrebel on Friday 01 March 24 10:59 GMT (UK)
The above was one of 3 daughters of Thomas Joshua Parker 1856-1917 & Amelia Matilda Masters 1863-1943. Clarice married John William Summers (b 1894) in 1914 Ashfield, and they appeared to have had 2 children at least: Blanche Amelia 1914-1937 who married Frederick Basil Markham in 1934 at Burrowa, he seems to have married again. Sidney John Summers appeared at Bankstown North in 1949 with Clarice.
There were 2 other daughters of Thomas and Amelia: Elsie P Parker b 1888 Canterbury, New South Wales and Edah V Parker b 1893 Burwood, New South Wales; both of whom I know nothing?
Help, please.

The death notice for Amelia Matilda PARKER has the married names of her children.
Have you searched the NSW BDM to cross reference them?

Thank you MERLIN but the BMD indices aren't at all helpful as far as I can see or have tried.

Thank you, Cup of Life for the records.
I'm still looking for Clarice Maude Parker's death as well as her husband John William Summers' death and what happened to their son, Sidney John Summers, I know about their daughter, Blanche now.
Elsie Parker's husband Leslie W Phillis is a complete mystery as to his birth and death and whether they had children?
Edah Veronica Parker's marriage date to Francis John Horan whom she married after her divorce from John David Roberts in 1928-did she and Francis have any children?

If you use the BDM index link already given you will see that Clarice remarried in 1950 and died in 1976.  She was probably waiting for her husband to die so that she could remarry.

Same indexes, look for Leslie W PHILLIS' death and then his birth with the same named parents.  His children with Elsie are also indexed.

Very helpful the BDM index after all. However, couldn't find the children of Leslie Phillis or the death of Clarise's 2nd husband?
