Help to knock down this brick wall - Parker to Tilburn UPdated below

[winston]

Hi All

I don't have much info to give as I have only got the names from a birth certificate.

The marriage is between Fred/Frederick Parker and /Elizabeth Tilburn. 

This is the brick wall; I don't know when, where or old they'd be.  All I know is, their  son who is Fred Parker was born in MYTON Kingston upon HUll in 1906 December.  It his his birth cert that I got the parents names from.

On the birth cert it states his dad is a Bricklayer Journeyman.  I know form Fred (juniors) war papers that both his parenst had passed away before 1926 as he gives his grandma Mrs Tilburn as his next of kin.


I know this is one wall that could stay up until the release of the 1911 census.


Sorry no other info is known - I only found this much out after a nine month wait for his papers to be found and sent on to me.


I do appreciate how hard this is.

Hi Wendy

Do you have an actual address on the birth certificate?

Is there an address for the grandmother on the WW1 papers?

Best wishes

Dear Wendy

I saw your request for help so I though I would tune into my witich's sense while sitting in my typist chair, i have left the broomstick nearby for safety.     I sense you need to look in Devon and Cornwall for the name parker and fred maybe be listed under another name in another area....     hope this helps.

You need to look for the marriage on 1837online.  Since Tilburn is the less common name, look for her from 1906 backwards.  If you find the right name, cross check with Fred Parker.  Could be a longish job but the only way to proceed.  Get the marriage certificate and you have the info to follow the trail back.

Hi To All

In answer to your question regareding the address here it is :-

 two LL's have been typed on the birth cert but could be an error

12 Paull Terrace
Wassand Street
UD

As for address on the WW1 papers for Granny

3 Brompton Mount
Cross flats
Leeds

Which is where he signed up.

I have looked on 1837onlinegoing back at least 5 years as Free bmd are not giving much away, have also tried the Yorkshire BMD's and again no luck.


Thanks to all for taking the time to read this request.

Wendy,

Do you have Grandma's christian name?

Perhaps we can find Elizabeths family on1891/1901, census.

Just a thought....

Good Hunting

Hi JeannieR

Thanks for the reply. 

Unfortunately no christian name given just says grandmother, Mrs Tilburn.

I think this may be a job for Leeds Library for the electoral register or something similar.

Probably a silly question, but why doesn't Yorkshire appear as one of the possible counties for searching on in the 1901 census on Ancestry.co.uk?

I could only find 1 unmarried Elizabeth Tilburn in 1901 - she's in St Pancras and there's no mother listed with the family.
