The confusion is caused by the OP's use of the married surnames for the women in her family................she hasn't caught on to the need to give their maiden surnames..............

Too many Annie Parker's to decide which is the correct birth so you really need to purchase their marriage cert to find out her age and her father's name and occupation.

Aah, thanks Ricochet - I'll delete my posts regarding births as this will confuse things even further!!!!!

Thanks.

I'm with you about the Mellings...........it will be interesting to find out where they are connected!
