Hi Merilyn
I hope you get this. I am sorry so to be 18 months late! I had given up on this message board and then when I logged on today to the site for something else I saw two exciting messages from you and Russ Thieleman.
My great grandfather was Charles Parker, brother to your grandfather. Therefore, I think you must be the same generation as my Mum, Thirza Samuel (nee Parker), she was born in 1941, the last of six children to John Parker and Thersa Parker (nee Parsons). We now live in Oxfordshire because my Dad moved us here in the 1970's but most of the family are still in Bristol. My Mum is a second cousin to you I think (?). Her email address is
thirzasamuel@gmail.com if you would like to write to her (she also has a grandchild) and my email address is
DSamuel1@outlook.com.
I have replied to Russ Thieleman.
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Debbie Samuel
