Europe / Holzinger and Donal Union in Austria
« on: Monday 10 October 22 05:27 BST (UK) »
Hello
I am doing research on behalf of a grandson. Does anyone have any info on Erwin Holzinger who married Anna Donal in Austria cir 1939. Anna was born in 1920 in Enns, Upper Austria. The spelling of the surnames could be incorrect and may be Olsinger and Dinwald. Erwin was a senior NCO in the 27th SS Volunteer Grenadier Division Langemarck during WW2. His fate is unknown, although he could be the person who died in Vienna on 25 Oct 1978. Erwin & Anna had a daughter born in Vienna in 1939.

Hello All,
With your help, regarding the ancestry and early life of Mary Parker, née Pugsley, I have arrived at the following conclusion:
Most likely, Mary Parker, née Pugsley was born in Combe Martin, North Devon, as reported in “A Parker Genealogy” of 2007 by Philip & Elizabeth Caddey, née Morse and daughter of Mary K. Parker. Combe Martin was the place of origin of her grandfather, Humphrey Pugsley (see more below). Mary Pugsley was probably born out-of-wedlock to Harriet Pugsley, in the 3rd qtr 1856, and Mary’s father was not named. This year of birth is consistent with age on her death certificate of 85 in Nov 1942 and being "of full age" when married in 1876.
In 1861, Harriet married John Perrin in West Buckland, the latter becoming Mary’s stepfather. Mary resided with them at least until 1871 and possibly until her marriage to George Thorne Parker in Feb 1876. On 9 Feb 1876, a notice appeared in the Western Times (Exeter, Devon) newspaper of the marriage of George Parker to Polly (a diminutive of Mary) Pugsley, only daughter of Mrs Pugsley. George was born in Broadwood Kelly, West Devon in 1850, to John Parker, a farmer and Ann Thorne. John had two farming properties and the Parker family is mentioned in White's Devonshire Directory (1850) as being one of the prominent land-holding families in the Broadwood-Kelly parish.
England Census records inform us that both Mary (5 yrs) and George (9 yrs) resided in Tudeley Village, W. Buckland in 1861, so they may have known each other as children. In 1871, Mary Pugsley was residing with John and Harriet Perrin in the South Molton sub-reg’n dist., at age 14, with relationship “daughter” (of Harriet). George T. Parker at 20 yrs of age was in the same district.
Mary & George had two children in Devon, Frederick in 1876 and William in 1878, then George went to South Australia in or after Dec 1879 (on a transport ship, tending a stallion for Moorara Station, Wenworth Shire, SW NSW; vessel unknown), with Mary and the two boys following, in Apr-May 1880 on ss “Cotopaxi”, arriving The Semaphore, South Australia. Their third child, James Moorara Par-ker was born on 26 Sep 1880, in Pooncarie, Riverina Dist., NSW (Bill Monfries, via E & P Caddey, 2007). James’s middle name was that of a sheep and cattle station on the east bank of the Darling River in the district, and possibly place, of his birth.
Mary’s paternal line may never be found. Harriet Pugsley may have been born in West Buckland 1824-1825, with baptism 27 Jan 1825, reg'n Barnstaple Wesleyan Circuit; her parents were Humphrey (cir 1794 or 1801-1880) and Grace (cir 1803-d) Pugsley, née Gould, who married 26 Jan 1820 in West Buckland. Humphrey was born in Combe Martin parish, lived there in 1841 and was buried there. Her Pugsley pedigree includes great grandparents William and Margaret Pugsley. Grace’s parents were John (1754-1849) and Jane (1759-d) Gould, née Conibear. The Gould pedigree has been traced by a contributor to FamilySearch to John Gould (1642-1718); this tree includes George T. and Mary Parker, née Pugsley, supporting the latter’s pedigree, as described above (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/portrait/LJKT-V6G).

Hello Jamjar
Many thanks for all the info you provided on the family of Geo & Mary Parker, which has taken a little time to process. I knew of Mary's children but didn't have some of the info you provided, including the link to the obit & photo of Lieut William Parker.
Best wishes
Kevin

Hello wivenhoe, ciderdrinker & DOB7
Your contributions are encouraging. It seems Mary's birth in 1856 has been supported, by exclusion of 1855 and we may be on the right track with her adoptive Perrin family, but no closer to a father.
Many thanks.

P.S.
The marriage licence of George Thorne Parker of 28/01/1876 records his intended as Mary “Pyren”, of West Buckland. A week or so later, Geo Thorne Parker marries Mary Pugsley in S. Molton. Probably, "Pyren" was a miss-spelling of "Perrin". The ancestry.com record of marriage has Mary of “Full Age”, which might mean she was 21 yrs old, consistent with birth cir 1856, however, on her South Australian death certificate, her age at marriage is 19 yrs.

Hello Jamjar & Dundee
Your prompt replies are appreciated
I was hoping someone may have knowledge of this Mary Pugsley's paternal ancestry as well as confirm that her mother was the Harriet Pugsley who married shopkeeper John Perrin in 1861, in West Buckland. I am not seeking information on her as Mary Parker in Australia.
Evidence of her birth in Combe Martin cir 1856 is in the Census Records of 1861 and 1871, when Mary was 5 and 14 yrs, respv. One of the following on freebmd.org.uk is most likely relevant, but don't provide names of parents:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1855 (>99%)
Pugsley Mary Barnstaple 5b 417
Births Sep 1856 (>99%)
Pugsley Mary Barnstaple 5b 419

Can anyone help me with Mary's origins? I am helping HARVEY in-laws with their family history. This is what I what I have found so far:

Australia / Re: Record of death of Edward MILKINS
« on: Monday 15 June 20 02:58 BST (UK) »
Hello anyone who might be still active with research of this family. I am looking at Margaret/Mary Hagen/Hagon (1820-1899), my interest being a result of a 1% DNA match with a descendant of Edward Milkins. Arliene said "Margaret Hagen, his wife, is still a mystery though. I can't find anything about her at all". Someone on MyHeritage believes she born in NSW, which could be correct, as she doesn't appear on convict registers. She might have been a daughter of a convict, but I can't find her on birth & death indexes.
