If you look at the image for the 1891 and compare Henry's middle namd initial letter with the I of Ida and the J of Jessie on the same page, it looks more like the I than the J, so Isaac looks right for his middle name.

As Margaret said, you need to get Myra's birth cert.

Why not send for daughter Myra's birth certificate?

Hi yeh Henry was born in Ashwater Devon and Ann was born in Rilla Mill, Cornwall.

The family moved to Spain sometime between 1895 and 1901 they came back sometime between 1906 and 1911.

On the 1891 census Henry has J as his middle name but in 1911 census his name is Henry Isaac. I have no idea whether Ann is her middle name or first name, but she appears on both census records as Ann.

Thanks Nicola

Hello Nicola,
Do you know where Henry was born and/or where they got married?

I have a Henry Parsons born c1862 that married Ann born c1886 they married when she was 17, which would be around c1885. The only person that I found was Mary Ann Tozer June quarter 1884. But for some reason I have feeling that this is incorrect.

I still did a search for her any way on the bmd indexes and census records and have come up with a complete blank. There doesn't seem to be any record for Mary Ann Tozer, apart from the marriage.

Any help that anyone can give to help solve this would be great.

Thx Nicola
