How quick is that?
Yes my wife says he was born 1881 and now after seeing the name Lydia Parry, she has remembered her mother mentioning that name.
Great you are on the right track.

Glenn,marriage is really easy to find, so have a go. You really need to familiarise yourself with the freebmd site as pointed out by Christine as it's easy to use and invaluable for births, marriages and deaths 1837 onwards till about 1940's.

Father's Name: William Henry Parry
Mother's Name: Lydia Parry

I would say the latter is possibly his birth, but have put both findings on the off-chance this is a relation:

Births Sep 1867 (>99%)
Parry William Augustus Aston 6d 322

Births Sep 1881 (>99%)
Parry William Augustus Hackney 1b 476

These could be the children's births.

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)
Parry Violet E Powell Hammersmith 1a 266



Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Parry David W Powell Hammersmith 1a 551


Births Sep 1922 (>99%)
Parry Edward H Powell Hammersmith 1a 385


Births Sep 1924 (>99%)
Parry Rose E Powell Hammersmith 1a 332


Births Jun 1927
Parry Stephen A Powell Hammersmith 1a 347

These can be found on Free BMD

Emma's maiden name must have been Powell.


You should be able to trace a marriage on the above site.

Hi.
My wife's grandfather was William Augustus Parry. We don't know from where he originated. He onced lived in Kennsington, and later in the 1940's and 1950's at 69, Shepherds Bush Road, London.
His wife was Emma. No surname I'm afraid, but they had four children. Violet 1918; David 1922; Rose 1924; and Stephen 1926.

We have tried for ages to find info on him, but always a blank.
Some of you out there are brilliant at helping people like me, who are not so well up with the internet sites. I hope you can help us here.

Thank you Sheps.
