Re: PARKES Bushbury, Staffs 1800-

Do you know what happened to your Hannah Parkes?

I don't know if there is any connection to 'my' Hannah Parkes but I will tell you what I know.

My Hannah married Ambrose Pope ?year.They sailed to New Zealand on the'Stad Haarlem' in 1879.Their ages are given as 32 years, Ambrose was a painter (I think house, not pictures!)They had 3 children, Frederick 11, Anne E 10 and Arthur A 8.
I have not done any research on Ambrose or Hannah before they went to New Zealand but a cousin told me she believes Frederick was born in Stoke-on-Trent.
I know Hannah's age does not match yours exactly but the shipping information was not always correct.
Please let me know if there is a connection as my cousin has recently complied all the descendants of Frederick.

Best wishes,
