Wilfred Coombe Parker
Wilfred is my great grandfather, we never met, in fact I only learned of his existance in 2010
He and his wife, Elizabeth Croall Parker (nee Silverblade), raised three children, Wilfred John, Florence Elizabeth, and Charles.
Florence died in 1938 in a car accident and her husband disappeared. So Wilfred and Elizabeth adopted her son, (my father), and changed his name to Donnell John Parker.
I am always looking for information about Jack and Charlie, there's very little available. It is presumed they married and had children, but I'm still looking for evidence.
