Welcome to Rootschat.
I can see the 1909 marriage of William Parkes to Louise Maud Nelson took place in Hartley Wintney district (Hampshire).
When did they emigrate to Canada?
I can also see a William Parkes born in Greenwich joining the RFA in 1906 and serving until 25 September 1909. Next of kin is "older bro Edward address not known". Is this a reference to Ted Waghorn? If this is your man's military record he was using the name Parkes from an early age - he claimed to be 20 yrs 5mo old on 29 January 1906.
