I am looking for parents of a Thomas Parlour/Parlor.Your record ID 38411 entry number 237 shows he married Maria Simmons 3/9/1826 register does not show his fathers name. 1851 Census shows him as aged 49, I have searced for his birth in the hope it will show his parents, but cannot seem to find his birth. Any ideas????

Christine Cave (nee Parlour)

This might explain why he is not showing in FOD / Newent records, he may have been from Gloucester

Ἀριστοτέλης A Gloster & Hereford Boy in the Forest of Dean ><((((*>

Have been researching the name of Parlour for some time. I am currently trying to trace a Thomas Parlour who Married Maria Simmons in Newent Gloucestershire 3rd Sept 1826. He was born circa 1801 but cannot find either his birth or his burial. Have found 8 children and their subsequent families, but cannot find Thomas parents. Can anyone help??

Thanks Christine
