In 1851 it looks like he was a 'visitor' in Liverpool and the census claims he was from Llanfair Derbyshire...... as Llanfair sounds Welsh and everyone else in that household was from Wales it is likely he was Welsh from Wales rather than from Derbyshire

Thanks for all the responses to my look up , i appreciate the support . I can give further information about Robert . On the Ancestry site it appears that he Married Elizabeth in 1849 in Toxteth park liverpool . There Children were Evan b 1866 and Maria b 1869 both in Toxteth park. My Great Grandfather was of course Evan b 1866. Lets hope this can help in any discoveries of lineage as i am still baffled.. Thanks everyone .

There's an 1871 census entry with a

Robert Parry born c1824 Derbyshire occ safe maker
his wife Elizabeth born c1826 Anglesea
they have two children
Evan 4 & Maria 2 bn Liverpool

RG10; Piece: 3804; Folio: 76; Page: 46


This may be the two children:

PARRY, EVAN
Mother's maiden surname: WILLIAMS

PARRY, MARIA
Mother's maiden surname: WILLIAMS    
GRO Reference: 1869  M Quarter in WEST DERBY AND TOXTETH PARK  Volume 08B  Page 526


If he's the Robert PARRY, Safe Maker from 1871 census posted he didn't marry Elizabeth in 1849

from Lancashire BMD

Marriage    25 Jan 1857 Toxteth, St Clement, Lancashire

Spouse:   Elizabeth Williams father Hugh, Joiner
both single, both made their mark (x)

Do you have your Gt Grandfather Evan's 1866 birth certificate confirming his mother's maiden name?

Robert Parry (X), Full, Safe Maker, Bachelor, Dinorben St.
Elizabeth Williams (X), Full, Spinster, Oliver Street

This looks to be Robert & Elizabeth on 1861 census but Robert's occupation and pob different  :-\
