Barrett Parkes Stuart
I'm desparately looking for anyone who knows anything about Emily or any of her descendants. Emily is my mother-in-law's aunt, sister of Minnie Parkes. Emily was born in London in 1891 to Samuel Parkes and Eleanor Winnifred Parkes (nee Folland). Although it may be that Emily believed her father to be called Thomas Parkes. Both Emily and her sister Minnie were placed in a 'home' as children, and I believe that Emily was taken in or adopted by Thomas and Alice Barrett and can be found living with them in the 1911 census.
I believe Emily married William T Stuart and moved from England (London) to Vancouver. They had a boy William (who died I believe in a forest fire?), and two daughters Constance and Opall.
If anyone can shed any light on what happened to Emily, both in her childhood and after moving to Vancouver, I would be extremely grateful. Emily's neice, now aged 77 would love to know. The last contact she had was a letter from Emily in the 1950's.
Thank you.

Do you know when [aprox] that the son William passed away? at what age ?
Filmed Registration shows all personal information required at the time. -
Obituary may mention names and locations of other family members at the time.
If no one else offers a lookup for the information.
I may be in town - and can visit the library sometime this week -my time depends totally on others these past few years.
Cheers & Good Luck

Thank you so much for looking up this information. Its interesting that it appears she was residing with a son called Garland, this is someone that we did not know about. Its a big ask, but if anyone should come across any information about Garland Stuart, or any of Emily's other children it would be wonderful to learn more about them.
Regards
Sue

Thank you for looking into this for me. To know her place of rest is wonderful. I just need to try and find out more about her children Opall, Connie and from another reply from another member, a son called Garland.
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Sue
