[horse]

Possibly Hilda Staples Durrant [Staples is a family name].

b. 1893 Soham. Parents = William & Harriet. Bap. not found yet.

She is in Hull, E Yorks by 1911 working as a housemaid. Sibling, Walter b. 1887 ended up in E Yorks.

Looking to prove this is her marriage and any further details on either of them.

Thanks, Amanda..

Got a bit more on William John Parnell now..

b. c1890, parents possibly William John P and Charlotte Chapman..

This looks like William John Sr., fits with an 1859 birth.. No sign of William Jr. or Hilda after 1912

Don't think this fits in at all but just a coincidence:-

in the 1939 register at 318 St Ann's Rd Tottenham there is a Hilda Parnell born 5.1.1894 and the alternative surname given for her is Durrant. She is living with Harry G Parnell, perfume and toilet traveller born 14.12.1880 (no relationships are given)

As I say I can't see that this fits in !

Hard one to prove Geoff

No help tracking them through their children.

Searching births all districts & counties between 1912-1930 father PARNELL mother DURRANT, same with FARNELL, no children.

Thanks, Elaine.

Yeah, tantalising with those names, given nothing else

[horse]

Thanks, Rupert.

Yeah, found the same, a bit of a mystery.

Have started to look abroad, no children is odd, unless they emigrated soon after marriage.
