My line of the Parish family can be traced back to George and Mary
Parish who lived in the city of Bath in Somerset in the first half
of the 19th century. Two of their sons moved to London around the middle of the century and my great great grandfather Frederick Parish, a blacksmith, married Rosanna Flay in Woolwich in 1865. They lived in Southwark, Lambeth, Spitalfields and Paddington and had 6 (known) children. A branch of the family moved further out of the city into Surrey where their granddaughter - my maternal grandmother - was born and later married a Clark. |
