Great Burstead, Billericay, Essex, England is Northeast of London between Chelmsford & Basildon, England

* There are Parish Registers in Great Burstead to show the marriage of Ann Gelley to John Parker and the births of all the known children are attributed to "John and Ann Parker" in Great Burstead.

• Granted, we have no evidence that this is OUR John Parker, but the years of birth for the children match those provided in records of the men as adults. And we have no evidence that Ann Gelley is the mother named Ann in all of these births. However, again, we have the marriage in the right time frame and the proper location noted in parish registers.
• I find no such evidence for a marriage of Joane Drake and John Parker, nor anyone named Margery.

I am still searching for needed evidence to show that Joane DRAKE was the wife of John Parker.

• In the Parish Registers found at the LDS, there is evidence that John Parker of Great Burstead, England married Ann GELLEY in 1610.
• There are baptisms/christenings in Great Burstead in the following years for the following children:
  • 1615 John Parker - listed only as "son of John Parker"
• All of the following are listed as son/daughter of "John and Ann Parker"
• 1617 James Parker
• 1619 Abraham Parker
• 1622 Joseph Parker
• 1624 Anne Parker
• 1626 Jacob Parker
• 1630 Joshua Parker
• A 1999 NEHGR article regarding the Parker brothers notes that they came from Great Burstead, England and that they were the children of "John and Anne Parker." Now obviously Ann can be a nickname for Joane, but I find no marriage listing for John Parker and Joane Drake in Great Burstead.
• Therefore, I feel that the preponderance of evidence indicates that the Parker brothers who settled in Woburn, Groton, and Chelmsford, Massachusetts were probably those listed above and their mother is NOT Joane Drake but IS Anne GELLEY.
• I believe that it has been accepted by many that Joane Drake was the mother of the settling Parkers but does anyone have evidence of the fact?
• Since I am a direct descendant of James and Abraham Parker this is something I am very interested in resolving.
• I know I have presented this before, but no evidence has been forthcoming and I keep hoping that others will be continuing research and finding more facts that I have missed.

Thanks, Jo Hogle

PARKER GENEALOGICAL HISTORY

• The Parkers of Browsholme are descended from Peter de Alcancotes, who held the Manor of Alkincots, Colne in the mid 13th Century.
• The succession went from his son Adam, living in 1311, to Adam's son Richard le Parker of Trawden, then to his son Edmund le Parker park-keeper of Radholme Laund, near Browsholme one of the great deer parks in the Forest of Bowland. From 1380 his sons, Richard and John had a lease of the vaccary, or cow pasture, of Browsholme; it is from this time that the family took the name of Parker in recognition of their office as park-keepers of the Fores of Bowland. Browsholme since that period has been owned and lived in by the descendents of Richard, who built the first house on the present site at Nether Browsholme. The present Hall was built in 1507 by Edmund, the grandson of Richard, following the grant of a new lease of Browsholme and marriage to Elizabeth the heiress of John Redmayne. The Parker family genealogical history is well documented, both before and after Edmund, and describes the connections to many families including... Chadderton, Tempest, Sunderland, Buller, Fleming, Lister, Blakey, and Barkley. Also the connection to America relations via Richard and William is well recorded. Edmund is the 11th great grandfather to the present owner Robert Parker, who lives at Browsholme with his wife Amanda, children Eleanor and Roland; together with his parents Christopher and Diana.

• John is the son of John Parker of Great Burstead. I chose to place him in "Limbo Land" as I can't find just what cemetery he and his are buried in. Either St. Mary Magdalene Churchyard or Great Burstead Cemetery. I also add as much info as I have to help others in the Parker Quest. I do not want this information lost so that is also why this Memorial is created. They both died after 1640.
