Hello, I am looking for any possible siblings and their families of Giles PARRY, my Great Great Grandfather. He was born in Westbury on Severn in 1795, and baptised in Tibberton!!!. He was a farmer in Westbury, and married a Mary SMITH in 1817. He died in 1854 and was buried at Huntley. his possible parents were James PARRY and Mary PALMER. Giles Had five sons:- James born 1824, Edmund 1827, Robert 1829, Joseph 1831, and George 1834. Thanks to this excellent site I have placed more pieces into the jigsaw puzzle, having found this site when I spoke to Glos. Records Office. I subscribe to 'Ancestry' and built my tree so far, but this site has enabled me to take it further.
I hope someone can help me to take this further still, many many thanks in anticipation

Not sure where your Westbury on Severn birth is documented, but this seems a good fit for his parents, esp the PALMER reference,even if later struck out !, and Giles PALMER being a grandfather.

Hi Chris, many many thanks, a great help, very much appreciated.

Hello again 'slowhands', thanks again for your input. Ref. the Westbury on Severn birth documentation I confess to possibly having mistakenly listed Westbury, I know he lived in Westbury and that is where I think I made the error.

Many thanks to Slowhands for this thread re Parry family;
www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=40142

It was invaluable to my Palmer research.
