HARRY JAMES & DOROTHY MAY PARKER NEE BEALE

[bbart]

Thanks for the summary, Sandra.... my eyes aren't what they used to be for scanning posts!

The father of Harry was given in the original post as Tom Benson Parker.  I found a newspaper article on him regarding the tragic death of one of his sons, Walter, in 1912 (if I remember correctly), and it just doesn't strike me as a family that would have to send their kids off... 

Back to the drawing board!

No we don't think that the Harry who married Dorothy Nidd and lived and passed in Calgary is the one the poster is looking for. There is nothing to suggest that Harry James Parker born 1894 son of Tom Benson Parker was in Canada so far.
Dorothy Nidd mentions her brother on the Canada Ocean arrivals form - that looks like Mr J Nidd of Primrose Hill (which could be James or John Nidd)  -   

The sister mentioned in the obituary of Isabel Mary Nee Nidd Chalmers I think must be Rosina Nidd born Q2 - 1892 London - 1a 637

Rosina married Sydney J Hyder - Decmber 1921.

Nidd    Rosina    Hyder    Godstone    2a   513

You did it!

Guess who  Lilian V Allen/Roberts/Gardiner is living with in the 1939!!!

(Can I say who? I know there is rules about saying anything from the 1939?)

[*Sandra*]

Very good - your with us now.
No we can't give details from that 1939 register.

Going back to reply 17, polarbear just beat me to mention what was in the 1939 free index. 
However, we have been able to find out a little more since then.

Going back to reply 20 - I was speculating that maybe they had all gone to Canada after 1939 or 1941 in Lilians case. If that is the death of the mother then, perhaps the younger daughter married a Canadian serviceman and that's where the talk of Canada comes in.

Well, if the Calgary Parkers ever do their family tree, you've given them a good head start!

Apologies to Polarbear for missing that post!

[*Sandra*]

Its easily done when we start mounting the pages up. 

I haven't found a remarriage for Lilian to a Roberts ?  Nor a death for a Lilian with that birth date. 
Or anything further on Dorothy M Parker 1916. (I'm hoping someone with access to Fold 3 - might see if there is any info on Harry Parkers discharge papers.Only got what is in reply 14 at mo 
Which was another reason for speculating the daughters may have gone to Canada.

I just took another look.... they ran out of room for new surnames for her.... try "Fox", it's crammed into the next column, and although they have used the different coloured inks, I can't match any surname to a date, so the order of names is going to be a chore.

EDIT  it should be Fox as the last one.... the others are crossed out
