Trying to find Parkes

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am trying to find details of WILLIAM PARKES born in Birmingham on 23rd February 1901. I believe that his father's name was George Parkes (born approx 1871) and his mother's name was Florrie Parkes (born approx 1872) I do not know her maiden name. I also think there was an older brother called Henry who was born in 1898/9. William lived in Birmingham until the early 1950s and was married to a person unknown and I believe he had a daughter from that marriage. In the early 1950s he moved to London and set up home with Joan Lock (nee Smallwood) with her two children Wendy Michaelson-Heath and Raymond Heath. Any help that anyone can give me would be appreciated. I would particularly like to know who William married whilst living in Birmingham and have details of his children from that marriage.
