I have no idea if my Parkes family are related to Sir Henry Parkes, but this is what I know... Alexander Parkes, reputed to having been born in Ireland and probably grew up in Liverpool,,, Alex was my great grandfather went to Australia to find gold, he then moved to South Africa and was involved with gold on the Rand. He was married to Annie who was from St Kilda, Australia born about 1874. Annie lived in Durban with some tough children. Annie was an artist, a painting of lions remains in my brothers home in Cape Town.
I would love to get more info and have struggled to get any details of the family.
email me (*) if you know anything
