In hopes that there may be a connection with your query, I hereby submit very limited data, inasmuch as I also have little to go on in my research for Samuel PARKES (my great grandfather) who was born sometime about 1845/6/7, possibly in Co. Down, possibly close to Hilltown in that county.Apparently in 1864 he sailed to Canada with Mary CAMBLY/CAMELY/CAMLEY who was pregannt at the time with their first child, George (who was born in Canada in that same year).In the PRONI Freeholders' Records (www.proni.gov.uk/freeholders/intro.asp), a Samuel PARKS (without an "E") appears, from Ardglass, but a Samuel PARKS of older years....possibly a relation, possibly even a father.But I cannot find anything about either my Samuel or this latter one of older years.
If you have found anything new about your PARK(E)S, please let me know.I would be in your debt.Thank you.
