Looking for family of the Parker family from East Rudham
- East Rudham
I am looking to find out more about a Hannah Parker who married John Atkinson circa 1870. In 1871 she is married and working as a ladies maid in London in the home of a Lady or Sady Mary Bisshopp.According to census records she came from East Rudham and in 1881, following her death in 1875, her son William Atkinson is staying in East Rudham with his grandmother. His grandmother is Susan Parker born circa 1809 in Kongham Norfolk. She also has a son Edward Parker (a tailer) born circa 1840 living in the same house and according to census records there were many other children. If anyone can help with this family I would be glad to hear from you.
