Surname/tag: Parr
2020 The Calderdale FHS (Halifax) has confirmed that no record they hold shows an Andrew Parr born in their Parish 1785 - 1800. https://www.cfhsweb.com/
They do confirm that from 1800 there is an Andrew Parr named in each of the related families between Halifax & Kirkburton.
Dowdle family research shows John Dowdle was recorded as John Jackson at his illegitimate birth then referred to as John Dowdle as his father recognised him.
My assumption is that Andrew Parr is recorded as Andrew ....... at his illegitimate birth then Andrew Parr from then on. <GR>

- Andrew Parr of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Wondering if we have evidence that Mary Pearson, wife of John Parr, and mother of an Andrew Parr, is the Andrew we are looking for? Mary’s father was supposedly a Rev. Thomas Pearson, which might explain why John and Mary’s children were baptised in batches, when the family travelled to see Thomas in his parish? Any ideas?<JA>
The marriage of Andrew Parr to Elizabeth Fewster in Newcastle would separate this Andrew from ours. We are back with no parents which is frustrating.<GR>
- (24/01/2021) But what if Elizabeth Parr née Fewster died not long after the marriage, in childbirth or from illness? Andrew would likely have remarried. Do we have a marriage certificate for Andrew and Harriet that specifies single or widower? None do.
The naming of children normally follows strict rules.
1st daughter should be named after wife's mother - Elizabeth - Y
1st son should be named after husband's father - Frederick ?
Further Research
