I am now a member of the P*rr*tt Society and a contact has taken me back into Oxfordsire for my ancestor Richard Parrott, who married Prudence Silverside.

Three hits on Oxfordshire Archives search engine gave me just three results, but has helped with a tree!

Title Mortgage

Widow of Richard Parrott, and one of the

PROPERTY: Moiety of a close of pasture
called Furfeild (described) in
Blechington.
CONSIDERATION: £40 and £6.

So it seems that Alice Silverside had two daughters. She was obviously a widow and married John Spindler.

Her daughter Prudence married Richard Parrott. Richard died. They had a son Richard.

Meanwhile, it looks as though Alice also had a daughter Dorothie - The second daughter?

Dorothie had married Robert Johnson and had a daughter, also Dorothie!
Robert Johnson died and Dorothie his widow married Richard Batt.

Robert and Dorothie Johnson's daughter Dorothie is now to marry John Palmer Gent.


So these three items of information yielded quite a lot of information for me. I had to draw a tree to get my head around it.

The problem is I now have identified at least 10 wills I need to look at and at least another 10 which could be of interest. I feel a trip to Oxford approaching...

Janet, just a couple of days ago I had an e-mail from another Parrott descendant and he had written up his family history with lots of Parrott jokes in it. It was hilarious.:D
