Hi Marg,
Allycat, the other Parker researcher has put me onto this site. I have posted what I can with the hope that some gems are unearthed.
Cheers,

William Parker was my Great Great Grandfather.

He had a daughter Maude Sylia who married Ernest Smith 1909. They had a son Carlyle who married Emily Gay who had a daughter Karlene, my mother who passed away 1969.

Hi, My father's mother was Gladys Jane Parker, her father was William Parker and her mother was Clara Parker, so William Parker was my Great Grandfather.

It looks like William and Clara Parker of Carcoar had six children - Maud B:1891, Clara B:1893, Gladys Jane B:1895 D:1970, William J B:1898, Grace I A B:1901, Lila M B:1903.

Further - Gladys Jane Parker married William Richards at Carcoar in 1913, they lived in Rankin Street Bathurst and had four children - Rene, Marie, Leslie (my father, Born 1920, Died 1996, his three sisters having predeceased him) and Neita.
Gladys Jane Richards (nee Parker) and William Richards are both buried at the Bathurst cemetery.

Hello all, it seems there were several PARKER families in NSW, Australia in the late 1800s. Mine were all from Grenfell, Forbes, Camden, Campbelltown and Yass areas.

She Married in 1935 but no NSW record of death can be found so she must have either moved interstate or more likely died later than 1975.

The four children of Gladys Jane Richards (nee Parker) and William Richards in order of birth -

Rene Richards - Married(? no record) Donald Smith (a career soldier), they lived in Sydney, Rene had no children. May have previously been married to Geoffrey Metcalfe Allen in 1937. Rene outlived both her younger sisters.

Nita Winifred Richards - Married Leslie Albert Charles Stapley at Bathurst in 1940, had two children - Julie (who has at least one child) and Ralph (who has two children and presently lives in Bathurst).

Leslie William Richards - Married Gabrielle June Mayer (originally Meyer) at Carcore in 1950, they lived in Goulburn and had one child - Anthony, who is presently childless and will probably remain so.

Marie Jean Richards - Married Emmett Ernest Powell in 1949, they lived in Sydney and had one child - Gregory, who is presently childless and will probably remain so.


William Richards worked on the railway as a Guard up until his retirement, he died at Bathurst in late 1961. William Richards was not originally native to the area, he having come up from down south with the railway, he quite likely met Gladys Jane Parker in the course of his job on the Bathurst southern line.
