Cannot find her by using variations of Abia , Obia , Abiah etc.

Cannot find Parker family before 1851 and discrepancy between 1851 and 1861 showing birth place of some family members
as either Forest of Dean or Kingswinford ( most of children are Kingswinford in later Census records)

Drybrook Gloucs. is in Forest of Dean, St Briavels Hundred is in Forest of Dean
after 1861 some family members married and left Kingswinford to return to Forest of Dean

Abia Parker 72 is shown as born Forest of Dean in Gloucs, in 1881 and 1891

Reference John Mann who married Obia Simmons in 1863 in St. Giles
He is shown as born Dumbleton Gloucs on 1881 Census but NK Worcs. on 1871
Abia is shown as NK. Gloucs on 1871

Brilliant! well done you!!

adding...

and that connects that family so will start to add that too.

So is William Parker a stepfather?
is Abiah Stephens mother of Abiah Simmonds married prev....

[kdwoodie]

looking at Susannah

Could this be her in 1861

1861 Census High Street Kingswinford Stourbridge Staffs.
Abiah Parker Head 50 (m) Charwoman born St. Braivels / Gloucs.
Abiah Parker dau 20 Labourer in Brick Works born Drybrook Gloucs.
Louisa Parker dau 16 born Kingwinford Staffs.
Ephraim Parker son 10
Hiram Parker son 8
Rebecca Parker dau 6
Susan Parker dau 1
Rest born Kingswinford Staffs.

Yes that links with this lot ..
1851 Census Wordsley Green Wordsley Kingswinford Stourbridge Staffs.
William Parker Head 41 Coal Miner
Abia Parker wife 40
Hannah Parker dau 19
Phillip Parker son 13 Coal Miner
Ephraim Parker son 12 Coal Miner
Abia (trans as Alice) Parker 10 At School born Kingwinford Staffs.
Luesia Parker dau 7 At School born Kingwinford Staffs.
Rest born Forest of Dean Gloucs.

So we have Abia/Obia marries a William Parker ....but can't find marriage to Wm Parker

Abia /Obia has maiden name of Stevens...but dau Obia /Abiah is down as surname Symmonds

So does the mother marry a Symmonds then Parker

I have put down Abiah born 1839 as having unknown father
