I am reposting my note of 2nd January 2002. May I suggest you learn to use the search facility on this page, as I have noticed that you seem to miss a lot that you could be picking up. Also, have you considered joining the society. It is quite cheap, the details are online here, and you can make a members interests note in the quarterly magazine which goes all over the world, and to other family history societies! Susanne.

In Response To: Re: PARKES family (Barbara Campedelli (nee Killey))

I was browsing the IOM 1901 census today, and spotted:

49 Bucks Road, Douglas, John Parkes, Head, single, age 26, Butcher, employer, born Michael, speaks English
Samuel H Parkes, Brother, single, age 25, Salesman butcher, worker, born Michael, speaks English
Mona Parkes sister age 23 - - born michael, speaks English
plus 4 staff named.

Hope this helps, although you will be able to check this on-line as soon as things calm down. Susanne.
