Ancestors of Samuel Rose Parkinson

Note: These pages are based on a careful review of Samuel Rose Parkinson's ancestry by Ben Parkinson in the 1990s, using parish registers, bishop's transcripts, and temple and family records. At that time I found no new information on the Parkinsons or Berrys but did push the Rose line back several generations on maternal lines. I'm fairly confident of the data, though looking over the notes I see they need some work.

The last person on the direct paternal line is James Berry. A James Berry was buried in Newchurch-in-Pendle on 20 May 1782 (FHL film 1278872). This James is most likely not ours. The entry reads "son of Andrew Berry & Ann his wife," implying this James was not an adult when he died.

If you would like to discuss this or other issues, or otherwise contribute to this genealogy, or if you are doing genealogy or would like to start and would like to coordinate with other family members, contact Ben Parkinson, the Parkinson Family webmaster, at <benX@parkinsonXfamily.orgX> (remove the three X's).

The ancestry report uses 'Ahnentafel' numbering. This means that the numbers for a person's parents will be twice as large as that person's number. For example, if a woman's number is 15, her father will be number 30, and her mother will be 31. Her child will be number 7.
