rite listen very carefully I shall say zis only once!

on the 1901 living near this james Parkes and mary is a family called Rollason so the name is there
as George henry Parkes married martha rollason

now this Rollason is a Robert Rollason and his brother John marries a mary Parkes
so the name Parkes is linked there with Rollason
and I just wondered if perhaps somehow James Parkes and Mary Parkes were related

anyway Jimmy do you think that that 1881, 1891 and 1901 are all the same family
cos I do ages bit out maybe
starts off as a nailer on early census changes to stoker and then cant remember in the 1901

Rite I am going to try and get the census in order that I think are this James Pakes snr
I think there are 2 in Rowley Regis
one of them is on 1911 so that James with son Leonard is not ours as ours dies in 1905

this might be death.....

James was a nailer but then changes prof...yet on sons marriage is a nailer
George is a plasterer

Submitted
James Parkes
Birth: 1869 Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
Parents:
Father: James Parkes
Mother: Mary

Yes I do, problem is the age of James... it's consistent on all except the 71, but I think this is his birth submitted

that James could have died and they have another in 1874?

So the name George Henry too he isnt that on marriage or on census
