Kent Lookup Requests / PLUMSTEAD CEMETERY 1952
« on: Thursday 20 December 12 13:12 GMT (UK) »
I have just been looking at the 1952 burial register for an ancestor buried at Plumstead Cemetery. Under the place of burial grave entry information in the register there is an annotation of "3rd Class". Would ROOTSCHAT members know what this signifies?
Thank you

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Photo of 3 sisters

Hi maureen
Many thanks for the clean - certainly brings the photo to life.
How did you achieve the full figure of the woman at the left? Is it the right half superimposed to make a left half?
Maureen is a lovely name (my wife is a Maureen)
Hi Gary
Thank you for your comments - I believe you are on the mark.
It has always been difficult to place names and the period to the photo.
I had originally thought the photo was of a mother and two daughters with the photo sent about 1855-1856 as a memento from Ireland to an older daughter who had migrated to Australia.
The three White sisters/daughters migrated to Australia at different times (Mary 1854, Catherine 1857 and Margaret 1865).
I would now believe the photo is of the three sisters taken in Australia - possibly between 1871 (the year the younger sister married) and 1883 (the year the older sister died).
Thanks once again.

I would appreciate RC memebers help in dating the attached photo.
I believe the photo may be from around the mid 1850s - possibly taken in Ireland and shows three sisters OR two daughters with mother (in centre). The photo shows no other identifying marks or features (front and back).
Thank you.

G'day Tom
Many, many thanks for the leads (or should that be Leeds) about William Parker - I will definitely follow thru. Looks like there is also a reformist side, as well as a temperance side, to Parker.
Just a question though, when you say my "....state's archives & library services..." do you mean in Australia where I reside?
Cheers

G'day Keyboard86 & West
Many thanks for the census data and the pointer to the photograph.
It was very satisfying to be able to tie in my Parker (Henry George) to the data and (especially) the photo from 1897.
The Parker ancestors in Leeds disposition to "temperance" has not flowed through to decendants in Australia (at least on my side) - must be the influence of the Irish ancestors from other family lines.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Temperance Hotel in Leeds - Parker family
« on: Wednesday 21 March 12 04:35 GMT (UK) »
G'day
Looking for any family connections to and photos of a Temperance & commercial hotel & coffee house at 106 Briggate, Leeds, Yorkshire, owned or operated by the Parker family over 1837 to 1880. The Parkers may also have owned/operated a temperance hotel at 1 Wood Street, Leeds in this time
Names that crop up from UK Census and Leeds Trade Directories records are William and Elizabeth Parker and children Thomas, Edwin, Harriett, John, Henry George.
Elizabeth's maiden name is possibly Lazenby with marriage to William in 1828.
Edwin possibly married a lass by name of Emma Oates with a daughter Helen Maud who may have married a solicitor/law clerk by name of Arthur Stirk. Edwin probably ran the hotel after his father (William) died in late 1870s.
Thomas and Harriett may have died young.
I am specifically interested in Henry George Parker (b about 1835) and whether he migrated to Australia 1851-1853.
Cheers
Michael
