Marriage

Individual Note

Shows up in 1841 Irish Census marked "Thomas Parkes. . .23. . .son. .

.Absent." Recorded age of 23 is probably close but inaccurate. Since twins are in family blood line, this Thomas and his brother Robert are probably twins, or at least born within the same year.

Buried in the same grave (Plot 85) is Mrs. Parkes who died 19 September 1914, age 85. Undoubtedly, this unnamed Parkes woman was Thomas Parkes' wife.
