Look up for Luke Parfery please.

[Steve C]

Could someone please help as I`m trying to find a birth for Luke Parfery (this family surname is also spelt Parfrey ) born about 1892

I`ve found him on the 1901 Census aged 9 living with his parents George and Mary A (nee Tabor ) plus three brothers Walter aged 4, William aged 3 and Frederick aged 10 months living in Wisbech St Peter.

To complicate matters further it appears that George and Mary A didn`t marry until December quarter 1903.

I know through research that this is George`s second marriage as I have a copy of his first marriage certificate and have recently sent for a copy of his second marriage.

Any help, advice or imformation would be most welcome

Many thanks steve

He's married / with an Elizabeth in 1891 - do you want the census transcribed ?

I cant inspect original pages at the moment, but was Luke born in Spalding ?

There's Luke Fuller Tabor on FreeBMD in the Sept 1893 quarter in Spalding. As his birthplace appears to be Spalding in 1901 this is probably him

Saw him - just wanted to be sure the 1901 was actually Spalding, and age actually 9, which might discount this chap ..... cant view at the moment .... 

altho Tabor is the maiden name of the lass who is married to George in 1903 !


Cracked it

Many thanks for that offer The Newfster but I`ve already got a copy of that Census.

I also have a copy of the marriage certificate to Elizabeth West.

Its Luke I`m after and believe he may have been born in Spalding well thats what it says on the 1901 Census anyway

But I can`t find a birth for him

Thanks for the information bedfordshire boy I also saw that listing and wondered...............................could that be him

Many thanks for your interest and prompt replies

It is the birth that BB posted - see my update above

[Steve C]

Thanks again The Newfster

How come the name change?? From Tabor to Parfery on the Census of 1901 even though the parents didn`t marry until 1903 I appreciate the details all add up and like you I am convinced this is the chap but do you know the process for changing names for that era??

There wasnt a process per se ..... you filled in the Census form, and said what you liked basically !

Luke was Marys son - was she Tabor maiden ? so maybe illegitimate, and doubtless it 'helped' to call him Parfrey in the famil and neighbourhood ....

[Steve C]

Yes Tabor was her maiden name ( I assume Luke`s father may have been Mr Fuller ).

No doubt the marriage certificate when it arrives will give us a clue. It will show where they married which also baffles me because this was George`s second marriage and I can`t find any divorce records either locally or at The National Archives

Many thanks again for your keen interest.
