PARKER - WILLIS (General)
I'm researching these names in the Forest.
Have come across a letter and picture sent to
my gg-aunt a Willis from her cousin Mary. Mary
also mentions a brother Jonah. Wondering if they
could be a Parker relation?

It is difficult with the limited information you have sent us for anybody to help you out further with the connection.
Can you give us any dates of births and marriages and places they were living of the families you mention.
Also, some clues to why you think there could be a Parker relation and anything additional that could be relevant.

The connection to the Merthyr / Troed-y-rhiw / South Wales Vallies area seems valid -
1841 ?

Thank You slowhands for all the great information. William Willis I haven't been able to find birthplace for,every census has a different place or spelling,confusing.

There is still some confusion, I'd put a small bet on Crudwell on the Wilts/Glos border - if the parents are from Minety and Hullavington for example.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WIL/Crudwell/index.htm
Cromhall near Wickwar / Wotton u Edge would be my second choice at this stage.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Cromhall/index.html if only for its proximity to a coalfield.
