Hi Joyce,

So Isaac died before the 1841 census?
Did Susanna remarry?
What child are you descended from of theirs, DOB/POB . All this can help in trying to trace back.

Cheers,
Trish

EDIT; there is an Isaac Parkes as a witness to the marriage of Benjamin Parkes/Martha Jones in Wolverhampton 1837.

Sorry but I got very confused when you said they married at late age
If Isaac was born c 1816 according to 1841 Census then he was young in 1841.

1841 Census
Dudley, Worcestershire
HO107/1196/17/Dudley

Isaac PARKES, 25, Coal Miner
Susannah Parkes, 20
Thomas, 5
Caroline, 3
John, 1
All born in County

Births/Christenings;
THOMAS Parkes,
Christened, 13 March 1836, Brierley Hill, Stafford, England
Parents, ISAAC and SUSANNA

JOHN Parkes,
Birth, 14 June 1840
Christened, 01 November 1840, Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester
CAROLINE Parkes
Birth, 30 May 1838
Christened, 26 August 1838, Saint Thomas, Dudley
Both with parents ISAAC/SUSANNAH


I have had a look at your Family Tree but have been unable to find Isaac/Susanna on 1851 census with the children above or others born pre 1851???

Excellent find maryblue. 

There is a death of a Caroline Parkes 1845, Dudley so fits with another Caroline born abt 1847 named after her.

Hi again Mary Blue,
                       Susan did not remarry,died before 1871,the family you have in 1851 is correct,They also had a son called Joseph.
         regards
