I think this is the person who matches with the Birth Reg Elaine posted....Ashley is in Market Drayton district: 1891 Allice Parton abt 1862 Hale, Staffordshire, England Wife Ashley Staffordshire Beatrice Parton abt 1890 Ashley, Staffordshire, England Daughter Ashley Staffordshire George Parton abt 1855 Ashley, Staffordshire, England Head Ashley Staffordshire >>>>Harriet Parton abt 1888 Ashley, Staffordshire, England Daughter Ashley Staffordshire William Parton abt 1885 Ashley, Staffordshire, England Son Ashley Staffordshire Fredrick Underwood abt 1882 Mucclestom, Staffordshire, England Wife Son Ashley Staffordshire Dad, George, is a cratemaker. Baptism: Harriet Parton Female Event(s): Birth: Christening: 12 JUN 1887 Ashley, Stafford, England Parents: Father: George Parton Mother: Alice Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. I can't find any record of an Edward Percival Hodgkiss anywhere, doing anything, up to 1920!! Are you sure he wasn't Hotchkiss, which seems to be a common Shropshire spelling (not that I could find one with the right middle name, in any case!) Merry

Hi Christine Do you have either of the marriage certificates? They would show her father's name. Heather

This could be her birth registration Harriet Parton Year of Registration: 1887 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Market Drayton County: Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire Volume: 6a Page: 749 - seems to be the right one - Hookgate only a few miles fromMarket Drayton. Her birth certificate would show parents names
