Thread: Trying to find Parrington Family

Morning ...

Just wondering if any one would like to help me with a bit of a family dilemma please..

Ive just found out that my Grandma and her sister had two more sisters, which is fantastic news, but theres a but coming on but the free BMD it has different surnames for the mother, which sounds more like they are half sisters to the other two but the dates dont tally up correctly, I will write the information below for help

Betty Parrington ( my nan ) b 1923 COOK
Mona Parrington b 1921 COOK

The two sisters I have just found out about goes

Susannah Parrington b 1928 NUTTALL
Hilda Parrington b 1930 NUTTALL

Ive looked up a marriage for Mary Cook and found that she married a Edward Nuttall in June 1912.

So whats puzzling me is that she was Nuttall when Betty and Mona was born... or am I wrong..

I am 99 % psitive that Richard Parrington was my great grandfather, and I'm finding it hard work to find the Parrington line also...

The family is from Burnley Lancashire

Thankyou very much for your help

Hello

Betty & Mona appear to be the children of PARRINGTON/COOK

There is a marriage in q3 1919 BURNLEY for Richard PARRINGTON to a Mary E COOK

Death Richard PARRINGTON d 1956 Burnley aged 72

This could be your family.

As regards the other names I cannot instantly find a marriage between PARRINGTON / NUTTALL, but that doesnot mean there isn't one, it may not have been 'listed yet'!

I presume that there is a GI link here somewhere.....!

As this could be about living persons PM me if you require further assistance

Evening...

I have just recently found my Aunt Monas children on Facebook and her daughter told me about a Sue ( Hampson,married name ) if I'm in contact with her, I told her I never knew she had another sister, I kind of figured there was an Hilda, and asked my uncle he said yes she was daft as a brush thats all ( in a nice way)

I posted a message to Aunt Monas daughter today and asked about her grandmas maiden name all she said is she thought it was Nuttall, so there is something there I'm not quite sure...

But on another site I looked up transcribes and the other stuff and it said both mothers of Betty (my nan) and Monas mother was a cook...

Thankyou to you both....

All the sisters have passed not sure about Sussannah though...

Never met my greats on that side think it was an old family, only met Mona my nans sister when she came over from the U.S.

Thankyou for replying

I found a marriage for a Mary cook and Edward Nuttall in June 1912 do you reckon Im on the right track?

Thanks

Hi,

I had assumed that the marriage to Richard Parrington was the first marriage. If the Edward you found was the right one there is a death for an Edward Nuttall in Burnley in 1914. Again the age looks a bit old. I think it might pay you to purchase the marriage certificate of Mary E and Richard. This will confirm if she was a widow at marriage.

oh thats fantastic news I live in Burnley and my books are due back next week so Ill pop in.....
