The Banjo worked as found that Parkes nieces were daughters of Mark Parkes brother of George Henry Parkes and also Sarah Jane Parkes which all ties up nicely

1871 Census Blakeheath Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
William Parkes Head 40 Coal Miner
Sarah Parkes wife 40
Mark Parkes son 13
Sarah J. Parkes 5 Scholar
George H. Parkes son 2
All born Rowley Regis Staffs.

1881 Census 34 Oldbury Road Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Mark Parkes Head 23 Coal Miner born Rowley Regis Staffs.
Mary Ann Parkes wife 22 born West Bromwich Staffs.

1891 Census 24 Oldbury Road Wednesbury Tividale West Bromwich Staffs.
Mark Parks Head 33 Coal Miner
Mary Ann Parks wife 32
Gertrude Parks dau 8 Scholar
George Parks son 6 Scholar
Rebecca Parks dau 4 Scholar
All born Rowley Regis Staffs.

Have added all I can plus made connections where found but a few issues remain:-

a) George Henry Parkes born 1869 is Shown as Cousin of Levi Adams and his wife Sarah possibly through his mother Ann Maria Parkes but still to work out link

b) William Parkes born 1831 father of George Henry Parkes married a Sarah Ann Unknown

c) Levi Adams born 1860 married a Sarah between 1881 and 1891 and only marriage found is one to a Sarah Tate in 1882
Marriage cert shows no father for Sarah and William Adams a Collier for Levi. A relative has marriage cert. and has Levi Married to a Sarah Chater on his tree which is contradicted by cert. ( also on his tree). I have contacted to ask why the anomaly

c) Samuel Adams born 1867 who married Sarah Jane Parkes does not appear to be related to Levi Adams but I would not be surprised what with all the Parkes /Adams tie ups

Reference cooment above :-
"c) Levi Adams born 1860 married a Sarah between 1881 and 1891 and only marriage found is one to a Sarah Tate in 1882
Marriage cert shows no father for Sarah and William Adams a Collier for Levi. A relative has marriage cert. and has Levi Married to a Sarah Chater on his tree which is contradicted by cert. ( also on his tree). I have contacted to ask why the anomaly"

I have contacted living Adams relative and he notes that he has consulted papers made out by his father in 1980's which confirms Sarah as Chater and not Tate ( as in Marriage Cert.). Family believe it was an error by Clerk and have investigated all Sarah Tates of same age and they are a dead end whilst Sarah Chater ties up reference age and location.
Possibly I can connect but make a note on bcc

not followed this thread
is it a certif you need to clarify?
(will read it later)

if you feel it is good to connect then do so
add a note as you say

if you need help to confirm let me know

Hi NL,
I have seen Certificate for Marriage of Levi Adams to Sarah Tate
and it is definitely Tate but living Adams Relative states that his fathers notes from Grandfather's oral recollection is that it was Chater . I will make connection but add note.
All rest of Thread has been added but may will need look ups on possibly two marriages

Ok put the look ups down on list and we can do those for you


is this completed ? or do you need more?

Completed Nl and have added look ups

Is this ok to archive Mumbles or do you need more info?

Nl,
Please hold as I am pretty certain that I can link Adams Family to Guest Family already on bcc and Parkes family to Ann Plant of Dennis's Plant family .
Just need a little more research and if I do not resolve I will open new Threads
Regards, Mumbles

This is complete and all added.
