While looking for something else I ran across the following marriage at Warwickshire:

8 Mar 1810
St. Peter & St. Paul
Samuel Parkes otp Bachelor
Sarah Parkes of the Parish of Dudley in the County of Worcester, Spinster
By License granted by the Rev. ????, LLD
Saml Parkes & Sarah Parkes Both Signed
Wit: Wm John Parkes & Charlotte Parkes Both Signed
& The X Of Esther Gill

Jo kindly did a look-up for William Parkes & Charlotte Saunders marriage at Kingswinford in 1805, I was hoping the witnesses on that marriage might help. The witnesses on that marriage were Absl Homer & Nancy Parkes. The Esther Gill mentioned above, I believe is my 4x great-grandmother, Esther (Bloomer) Gill. Trying to find out how, or even if, Esther is connected to this Parkes family? Help Please

Hmmm... worth looking into I think.
Looks like we have same family Maryann!

Jo, sorry to be so late in responding, the time difference really messes up my response time. Yes I think we do have same family. I noticed that Esther (Bloomer) Gill did have two daughters that married two different William Parkes. I'm checking for parents of these William's to see if perhaps their father was a Samuel Parkes.
