Oh, Christine, all you C-people. ;) I have an uncle who had six kids, the girls all Cs (including Christine and Caroline!) and the boys all Gs ...

Glad you worked around my blunder, Caroline!

Hi Christine

Big thank you to you for advising Heather at long last I have found a Parrett I cant beleive it after all this time just goes to prove never give up.
It has now encouraged me to continue my search for info on my mother father which is giving me much grieve.

Thanks again from Oz

No do not click on my name


Click on Caroline's.

Brain a little fuddled today Janey?

Hi Heather
Caroline is still on here as I had a message from her recently. She will be pleased to hear from you. To contact her directly click on her name and send her a message.
Christine

Fancy that, Heather!

Your best bet would be to click on Christine's name and send her a private message. If she's around here at GR she'll see it, or if not, hopefully her email address in the GR system is up to date and she'll get a notification that way. (No notifications are sent of replies in threads.)

Good luck!

Oh, and -- how did we all do with tracing the family then??

hi Caroline,
My mum (Hazel Parrett born 7/8/1935) is your cousin !
Her dad was Joseph Kenneth Parrett whose brothers were Edward Talfourd born 1904, William Leslie born 1905, Victor F born 1913 and Percy T born 1914. His sisters were Gladys Elizabeth born 1907, Ivy E born 1911 and Edith Y born 1916.
If you get this reply, and get back to me I`ll let you have some more info.

Did you hav any success with rootschat?

Have you tried Rootschat yet?

Hi Christine
Sorry to be a pain in the bum but I am still learning and you are all so great, how did you get the commercial info.
Thomas Parrett the herbalist was my great grandfather my grandfather was Edward Parrett I think his middle name was Telford and I know they had a coal buisness because my father worked with him.
Would love to know where you got the info nelson street is where my father was born and lived as a child so Victoria Dock road was prob the previous address. I remeber my father taking me to see his house when I was a child but has my father was in his 50s when I was born and has since died I have no relatives to get any info from.
Sorry about the delay in replying but I am in Aus.
Thanks once again for all your help.

Parrett Thomas, medical herbalist, 64 Victoria Dock Road


I think Nelson street may be in north woolwich
ie on the noth bank of the Thames

I do not have access to 1851 census

1861 she is not there but probably married.

Back to freebmd

search for marriage before 1861.

one likely

Marriages Dec 1853 (>99%)
Adams Sarah Ann W. London 1c 111
Munday Susan W London 1c 111
PURTON Edward W. London 1c 111
Smith William Henry W london 1c 111

there is Edward Purton

Cannot see Edward or Susan in 61 or 71

It does not mean it is not there

may be mistranscribed or the record may be illegible

we saw on 1881 census that susan has a brother living with her so here she is on 1841

1841 Address: Overy Street, Dartford, Sutton At Hone

Hi CHRISTINE & jANEY
Thanks for all the great info I have joined ancestry but still find it a bit confusing I didn't realise there was so many Parretts I just thought that by putting a thread on someone may have personnal info on the parrett family especially has they seemed to be business people.
I will learn as I go and every one is so helpful. I find it difficult because they all seemed to us the same names back then.
Thanks again

That death looks like the birth I posted earlier:

Births Mar 1904
PARRETT Edward Talfourd Woolwich 1d 1369

who I assumed was a son.

The "Telford" Caroline mentioned, to do with Edward Sr, doesn't seem to appear anywhere, but is there in the son's name.

Deaths Mar 1931 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parrett Edward T 27 Greenwich 1d 1233

There are two Carolines and an Edward Thomas with Edward in their trees. I presume one is you. Go to search trees at the top of this page and enter his mame but not his birth year. \you can then send messages to these people.
