TILSTON - JONES - DYKES - PARKER

Looking through the TILSTON pages, we could go back to the likes of Thomas Tilston in the 1700's or start with Rossett born Richard Tilston.  He would marry Sarah JONES. At least three
children would be Joseph, Jane and Thomas.

As time marches by, Joseph would marry Annie DYKES
and would live in Bradley.  By 1881, Joseph and Annie would be living with children Edward, Richard Thomas and Ada.
Neighbors would include William & Harriet Tilston, Timothy THOMAS, and Richard & Elizabeth LEWIS.

In early 1900's, Edward would marry one Jane PARKER in the Wrexham area.  Jane was born in Shropshire, but the family had moved to Wales.

If we travelled to nearby Gresford we would find many a folk with the usual names like Edwards, Williams and Roberts.

Can you be absolutely sure that your Jane Parker was born in Shropshire?

Jesse PARKER & Elizabeth ALLERTON

Wrexham.
Her parents were living in the Erbistock area at one time.
It is likely they moved to Wrexham prior to 1881 and likely the Jesse & Elizabeth PARKER at Crescent Place in 1881.
A sibling of Jane was Richard Joseph PARKER likely
living in Ruahan in 1901.

Now, Mrs. Elizabeth PARKER is likely Elizabeth ALLERTON, born in Park Bridge  ??? Don't know where Park Bridge is!
Could be the Park Bridge around Oldham &
Ashton-Under-Lyne.  Marriage 1874.

Back to Jane Parker, she was born in 1879
in the Dist. of Ellesmere which includes Overton.
Of interest, there is a place called Park Lane, but I doubt if Park Bridge for Mrs. Elizabeth Parker would be an error
but bigger errors in this family history business have been known to happen.
