Trying to find Herbert Parrs roots

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Dawn Report 26 Jan 2008 16:46

We have no birth year and no parents of my grandfather Herbert Parr (c 1910) or his wife Phillis but he married Phyllis Naylor (c1918) my grandmother in Barnsley.
I always thought he was born in Barnsley but a relative has told me she heard he was actually born in Wigan I do remember him visiting some relatives in or around Wigan when i was small. I know he had a brother Richard (Dick) and also another brother but I cant find out his name. Any help on this would be much appreciated as I have come to this brick wall on this side of my ancestry.
