Thread: Parsons

I am having difficulty tracing Harry Roberts Parsons [my grandfather] born 1900 Charlbury, died 1976 in Oxford, He joined the Royal Navy at the age of 14 as a boy salior and was at Devonport was on the HMS Royal Ock at the Battle of Jutland in WW1, he left the Navy in 1928, then went to work at the Oxford Post Office and re-enlisted into the Navy in 1939 he was on the HMS Revange, after WW11 he went back to Oxford Post Office.

He married Rose Emily Hounslow in 1921 at The Parish Church in Marston Oxford.

I know his father was Alfred Parsons he was a Colour Sargeant in The Oxford and Bucks and his wife was Mary Emma Scarsbrook and they lived for a while at Station Hill Charlbury in Oxfordshire. Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is probably the birth -

3rd quarter 1900 Chipping N 3a 1012 Harry Roberts Parsons

Thank you for your help, but i can not find Harry Roberts Parsons on the 1901 census any where he did three brothers Frank, Gordon, and Jack, any help of where i can go now would be much appreciated.

Hi, I think this may be your grandfather and his family, if so they've been mistranscribed, but the original return sheet does appear to say Parsons. Take a look - if you don't have access to the original sheet I can send it on to you.



1901 Census: Church Lane, Charlbury, Oxfordshire



Alfred Pascone/36/army pensioner and gardener (I think that's what it says)

Harry R Pascone/8 months

James Pascone/2

Mary Pascone/28

A possible birth for Gordon?



Gordon Edmund Parsons 1903 3rd quarter Chipping Norton 3a 1119

Thank you for your help, it's been a great help,
