I think you have read it correctly Dave
"There is a John Edwin Parkin born Q4 1854 Wortley MMN Parkin*. Here is his death PARKIN, JOHN EDWIN 2 GRO Reference: 1856 D Quarter in WORTLEY Volume 09C Page 117. I suspect that the John Parkin age 15 in 1871 was actually PARKIN, HENRY REDFEARN GRO Reference: 1856 M Quarter in WORTLEY AND PENISTONE Volume 09C Page 179 He was son of Henry and Ann (nee Redfearn). He would have been stepson not son in law Dave
Hi David I, The GRO for George William Parkin is: 1859 Sept qtr. Wortley..no mmn. Henry Parkin I believe died in 1857 June qtr age 35 Wortley. If this is correct, then George Brown was more likely to be George Wm. Parkin's father. HAPPY HUNTING:sleuth_or_spy:
