Thanks Slowhands

I have changed the parentage of Thomas Parker 1830 to Thomas Parker 1802 & Elizabeth Harris 1805.

John Parker & Mary Bowers remain in my tree as their daughter Tabitha 1833 married William Willis 1834 and their son Jonah Parker Willis 1872 married Annie Jane Cowmeadow 1871, daughter of John Cowmeadow 1837 & Maria Marfell 1834.

From your posting; noting that Florence Dent granddaughter is with Richard Parker & Jane Heaven on the 1881 Census, then this must be the marriage in question. Ann Elizabeth is shown as Hannah E in 1851, but Ann Elizabeth in 1861. The next question is Dent or Bent, I think it might be an error in copying the parish record of marriage, showing Bent.

Richard Parker marrying Jane Heaven, daughter of Isaac, started me thinking of links to the Heaven family................
In my earlier posting detailing the descendants of Tom Parker 1858 & Emily Harris 1857. I mentioned Lily Annie Florence Parker born 4 Oct 1893 had married Bernard William Marfell born 10 Jan 1891. They had a daughter May Marfell 1921/2010, my 2nd cousin once removed, a very dear friend who I visited in the Forest many times, it was she who got me started on Family History, presenting me with a Marfell Family Tree of 250 people (now over 22000). I have a picture she gave me headed Marfell's Doughty's & Heaven's as May's aunt Rosina Marfell 1886 married Dyer Doughty 1895 and her aunt Ethel Maude Marfell 1895 married William Frank Heaven 1891, son of William Heaven 1863 who was son of Henry Heaven.................
