Descendants of Thomas Parfrey
- - - Generation 1 - - -
1-- THOMAS PARFREY was born abt 1770 near High Littleton, Somerset England. His death was registered in the 3rd Quarter of 1847 in Clutton, and he was bur. 22 Aug 1847 in the St James Churchyard in Cameley, Somerset. Thomas may have been the son of John & Mary 'Parfry,' who baptized at least five children in Farrington Gurney, Somerset, just three miles from High Littleton. They were: Thomas, bp. 17 Apr 1768; Thomas, bp. 13 May 1770; William, bp. 10 Jan 1773; Richard, bp 4 Jun 1775 and Mary, bp 21 Sep 1777. His parents could have been John Parfrey and Mary Vowles, who were married 25 Nov 1764 in East Harptree, Somerset. If so, the five children in Farrington Gurney were preceded by two other children, John & Mary, both baptized 6 Jul 1765 at St Lawrence in East Harptree.
Thomas mar. HESTER PURNELL (also called Esther) on 14 Apr 1793 in Cameley, Somerset. Hester probably was bapt. 14 Jan 1770 in Chew Magna, Somerset, the dau of Thomas and Anne Purnell, who also baptized a daughter named Sarah in 1765. Her death was registered in the 2nd Quarter of 1854 in Clutton, Somerset.

2-- ANN PARFREY (Thomas--1) was born abt 1800 in Cameley, Somerset, England. One family tree at Ancestry.com says her name was Mary Ann whose lifespan was 1801 to 1862.
Ann m. SAMUEL PICKFORD on 1 May 1826, at St Augustine of Hippo church in Clutton, Somerset. Samuel was born about 1807 and resided in Clutton at the time he was married.

3-- RICHARD PARFREY (Thomas--1) was baptized 12 Apr 1801 in Cameley, Somerset, and died in 1879, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. He was bur. at Marcy Cemetery, in Duryea, Luzerne County.
Richard mar. DELORATA BUCKLAND, 25 Dec 1823, at St Augustine of Hippo church in Clutton, Somerset, England. Delorata was born abt 1806, according to the 1841 England Census, and she died 13 May 1889 in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Her surname was given to us as 'Shockland,' and at some time that may have been so. Traveling families often changed their names as they moved about, or for recording an event such as marriage. Her first name has been spelled Dolleretta, Delorett, Dolferetta, Dulerate. In fact, the marriage was listed in the name of 'Richard and Delphine Palfrey,' who may or may not be the same couple as 'Richard and Philadelphia Parfrey,' all of whom resided in the same general area of Somerset. In all, some 15 children may be theirs. If all the spouse names are the same person, then their first child was born sometime before their marriage. Delorata/Delphine was possibly the dau of Barrington (AKA Barenden) Buckland, whose wife may have been named Charlotte (AKA Shelley). For more details on the curiosities of the Buckland clan, see "Old Buckley Family Line" at Romany Jib. For a lengthy example of name-changing see "Septimus" at Gypsy Genealogy.

Some of the above children were included in the 1841 Census for High Littleton, Somerset, for Richard, a coal miner, and Dulerate Palfrey. Others were found in the FreeREG Index for Richard (Razor Grinder, Labourer, Brazier) with either Philadelphia or Delphine. In 1861, there is a Richard Parfery lodging in Paulton, Somerset, aged 60 and married, with the occupation 'Tinker.' In that same year, there is a Doratty Parfrey, listed as Head of Household, age 57, residing in Aberdare Glamorgan, Wales, with three children. Those children are also found in the 1851 Census for Aberdare, Wales, under the family name of "Parry," the family headed by Richard and his wife "Filly." Alfred and Joseph are found in FreeREG records as being sons of Richard and (1) Dalferretta, and (2) Doloratta. Alfred's marriage record in Pennsylvania gives his parents as "Richard & Delerata Parfrey." And Richard, b. 1833, was described in his Death Certificate as b. 1836, s/o Richard Parfrey and Dolericka "Gibbs."

7-- TIMOTHEUS PARFREY (Richard--3; Thomas--1) was probably born between 1829 and 1833. A record for the baptism of one Timotheus to 'Richard Parfrey, Collier, and Philadelphia Parfrey' was made 21 Apr 1833 in Chew Magna, Somerset, England, the child being already four years old. His birth and death are recorded in various places with inconsistent dates. A death certificate for 'Timothy Parfrey' says he was born 1 Jan 1823 in England, and died 1 Jul 1910, a widower. It shows his parents' names as 'Richard Parfey and Dolorette Buckland,' both born in England.
Timotheus mar. MARGARET WILLIAMS, sometime before emigrating to United States in 1852. Margaret was born abt 1834 in England. The marriage was a difficult one, and an application for divorce was filed, but not granted.

10-- HENRY PARFREY (Richard--3; Thomas--1) was born abt 1839 in Somerset, England, and died sometime after 1910, probably in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. He is hard to follow, and his name is shared by one or two other Henrys of the same general age, so we cannot easily distinguish the facts. The death certificates of his children say that the parents were Henry Parfrey and Elizabeth Davis. However, a marriage for a 59-yr-old Henry Parfrey, son of Richard, took place in Leamington, Warwickshire, England in 1898, to ANNIE LEA, and at the time he claimed to be a widower. This would mean that Elizabeth Davis-Parfrey had died before 1898. She showed up with him in Pennsylvania in the 1870 and 1880 US Censuses. It seems a bit far-fetched that he would then take a trip to England and marry Annie Lea in Warwickshire, then return to the U.S. where he was found in 1910, living with his sister, Elizabeth (Frost). The Census states that he was in his second marriage and had been for 2 years, making the marriage year 1908, not 1898. (Passenger Lists for NY to Liverpool do show a Henry Parfrey, age 57, in 1896; then a return trip in 1899, at which time he claimed to be single.) A newspaper article appeared in 1910, in which Henry Parfrey was said to be willing to go to jail rather than pay support for his wife, whom he claimed to have married in 1904, again, not 1898. The 1861 Census in Wales (7 April) names Henry as brother to Richard, and gives his marital condition as unmarried. His first child was born bout 1862. No census has been found for Henry and Annie. At his marriage to Annie, he was 59 and she was 29.
Henry mar. ELIZABETH DAVIS, who was born in Wales. Elizabeth apparently died before 1898, when Henry was married, as a widower.

Through her mother, Elizabeth was a niece of ELIZABETH BEALE SNOOK, who married RICHARD MOORE (b. abt 1811) in 1840 (registered Q3 in Bath). Evidently, Richard was a Yeoman farmer in Clutton, Somerset, and died sometime between 1881 and 1891. The parents of Elizabeth Beale Snook and Matilda Emma Snook were GEORGE SNOOK and GRACE FOWLER, who were married 24 Dec 1808, at St Mary church in Stanton Drew, Somerset. This connection to the Moore family may or may not explain the Moore included in Elizabeth Emma Parfrey's son's name -- George Brace Moore Parfrey. The Aunt and niece were found together in the censuses of 1881 and 1891. It may be that Miss Parfrey acknowledged her aunt-benefactor by adding the name to her child. However, in 1901, Elizabeth Moore, age 80, was living with Joseph Howe and his wife, and with her niece's son, George, while Elizabeth Parfrey was found in the District Workhouse for Clutton, with her second child, Alfred Edward, age 1 month.

Joseph mar. ELIZABETH HOLBROOK, 25 Dec 1867 at Holy Trinty church in Bristol, Gloucestershire. Elizabeth was a couple of years older than Joseph, but her exact birth and death are unknown as this time. Matching her occupation in the 1871 Census with her husband, with earlier censuses, we are guessing that her parents were WILLIAM HOLBROOK and CHARLOTTE ILES. She is said to have given birth to seven children, but only six can be accounted for. It appears that they may have had more than one Joseph Henry, both of whom died, and a third, herein shown as v. Henry survived. This may be the Henry Joseph, who, in 1909, mar. MAUD WINIFRED PARTRIDGE, and had at least seven children, namely: Leslie Clive, Victor H, Kenneth J, Cicely, Ronald Thomas, Gwendoline and Clifford.
