Christine53:
This is where it gets sticky. There is another Henry Parker a Seaman who dies at sea off Lizard Point in 1881. Hes also married to an Elizabeth ( probably Harrocks).  This could well be him but if the census was March how does she know shes a widow before his death?

Henry Parker 33 seaman bn America
Elizabeth 27 bn Liverpool

Well Ive explored Harrocks but find them both living past 1881. In 1881 cencus Elizabeth is a widow and in 1880 namws her newborn Henrietta (In name of dead father?)
They are in Eccles Street 1871 and then Elizabeth is there till 1991.
The Harrocks line was a strong contender but dates dont fit. Still suspicious as all 3 streets involved are next to each other in old Liverpool near docks.

Diane, the 1871 census shows that Henry was born in the US and he is a seaman. Also, Mary Jane Parker with mmn Horrocks is the only one born in Liverpool that year.

Is it normal to have such wildly different dates? The census places Elizabeth Parker born 1844 and Henry 1838 for 2 census 10 years apart. I have gone with these dates in the absence of birth certificates. The Harrocks line are born earlier in 1838. Doesnt fit. But so close!

I don't understand what you mean here.

On the 1871 and 1881 census Elizabeth Parker (Harrocks) is born 1844 and Henry 1838.
