<title>Edmund PARRY &amp; Family Churcham / Birdwood Home Farm (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Can someone please help me to trace the history of Edmund PARRY of Home Farm, Churcham.<br />
A close family member has told me that she has seen the following on a Headstone in Churcham Churchyard (but unconfirmed by me) ''In loving memory of Edmund PARRY of Home Farm Churcham who fell asleep in Jesus Nov.14 1808 also for Martha relict of the above who entered into rest June 1 1811 also Robert Edmund their second son who passed away March 10 1847.''    <br />
Coincidently the names of Edmund, Martha and Robert Edmund appear in my Tree but with <br />
totally different 'passing' dates ie Edmund 1906, Martha not known, and Robert Edmund 1907, and strangely Robert Edmund is also the second son.<br />
Finally we possess a Silver Tankard which has been handed down through the generations, which apparently was won in a Ploughing Match in 1776. It is inscribed with the scrolled initials EMP which we think stands for Edmund PARRY and the date of 1776 has been verified.</p>

<strong>Martha not known,</strong></p>
<p>is this the Martha you refer to ? is it possible the details are confused the coincidences are almost too strong to ignore?</p>
