Hi Maxine.

My main interest is the Marfell family, and Tom Parker has links to that family. Tom & Emily had 5 children including Lily Annie Florence Parker 4.10.1893/24.10.1948 who married 22.5.1920 Providence Chapel, Drybrook to Bernard William Marfell 10.1.1891/6.9.1980 -they had a daughter May who I have met on several occassions and she has helped me considerably with my research. Two "Gatherings" of Marfells have been held in May's house in Wigpool. Another of Tom & Emily's children Bernard H B Parker married Kathleen Marfell.

Pasted below is a Memorial Inscription which I know you will be interested in :
In loving memory of Tom PARKER who entered into life? Jan 26th 1934, aged 76 years, also his wife Emily PARKER Oct 31st 1937 aged 80 years. Also Lily MARFELL, precious wife of Bernard MARFELL, of Wigpool Oct 24 1948 aged 66 years. "Saved by grace". Also of Annie Florence, their daughter who entered life on Oct 27th 1890 aged 11 years.

An interesting quote - "entered into life"
