Parson Family Oxhey ?
« on: Wednesday 29 September 10 15:11 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find living family of Mabel Isabella Parsons, born approx 1879 in Ealing,, last known address in Oxhey in 1941.
Through research I have discovered she was my Grandmothers cousin, and I am trying to fill in glaring gaps in my family tree, particularly what happened to Mabel's grandmother (my great great grandmother ) Isabella, who disappears from all records after the 1871 Manchester census.

Thankyou Pam, but I am sorry family not the same although from a similar area.Mabel's grandmother Isabella who disappears after the 1871 census was Isabella Stortz who was an artist who's husband is having children with his common law wife in Manchester in 1873/5.
Isabella was born in Belgium in 1840 and it has been suggested that she split from her husband and went back to Belgium along with her youngest son Philip,after 1871  but why would she leave her other two children  aged 13 and 10 in England. Another theory is that she went to live with another man and took his name, but no Isabella born Belgium  on the 1881 census fits the bill.As I never knew my Gran or her family it has all been painstaking research over 7 years and the missing Isabella leaves a gaping hole in the story.
I was hoping if I found a living family member they may know what happened.I found living family of Mabel's sister but they knew nothing and weren't really interested, so you can see why I am keen to find any Parsons.Mabel's husband Herbert , born South Wales was an accountant and died in Oxhey hospital in 1941, and that is as much as I know.
Thankyou for your interest.
Sheila. :)
