Land Introduction
George Sheard and Hannah Blakeley

Parker Connection to The Sheard Family

Emma Sheard, born 1842, the daughter of Joseph Sheard (1821-1876) and Sarah Colbeck and granddaughter of Michael Sheard (1798-1861) and Sarah Newsome and great granddaughter of Michael Sheard (1776-1837) and Sarah Lister and great-great granddaughter of George Sheard and Hannah Blakeley married Alfred Parker.

Parker Connection to The Jubb Family

Hannah Parker (b 1814) as far as I can work out, was the second daughter of Joseph Jubb b 1784 and Leticia Talbot b 1787.

Hannah and Matthew produced Joseph Jubb Parker in 1840, he followed in his uncle and cousins footsteps by becoming Mayor in 1887 (we have just discovered a photo of him in his robes).
