Dear Fred,

Thank you for your email ... it's nice to know there are still Parles in Ireland!

I appreciate any leads you can give me as to others who are already researching my Parle line. I have attached a report on Richard Parle, my GGgrandfather, who is our link between Ireland and Australia. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Anne L. Le Maistre

Hi there,

Thanks for reply and I give you the main hitters in this ongoing quest for the facts. Denis is Grandson of James from Wexford, who you may well have been in contact with. I’m named after his Uncle Frederick Parle a WW1 infantry hero.

Michael is my younger brother in Dublin who is our ace at connecting people but whose main achievement has been to pull this worldwide sleuthing together. Both will be of assistance I feel sure in tying the Blackwarer and Sydney connections together, then Voila madame !

Kind Regards,

Fred.

 

Parle Family History in Australia

From: Tricia Kruger

To: Michael A Parle

Hi everyone...I've just been introduced to the Parle Family site and can't wait to add what I've learned over the years. I am one of John Joseph Parle's grandchildren who was the fifth child of James Parle and his first wife, Mary Butler. 

The information I have collected comes from my Mother, Jean Jarratt (nee Parle), the oldest daughter of John Joseph Parle. She currently lives in Collaroy, NSW and is soon to be 93 years young! I am Jean's youngest daughter, Tricia (Patricia Kruger) and live in Grayslake, IL in the United States. I have also researched certain birth/death and marriage records at the library in Sydney when I have been home on vacation through the years. (All bolded names indicate that the surname would be Parle.)

According to my mother, James Parle my great grandfather, became a master builder of some renown in Sydney. He was what she called "landed gentry" and at one time owned large sections of property in both Mosman and Miller's Point (suburbs of Sydney). He died in 1915 (doc. #70390). James and Mary (Butler) had six children:

1) Walter, born 1866 (doc. #1539) married Ellen ? and they had 4 children:
Annie born 1891 (doc. #9136686), Walter born 1893 (doc. #9337675)
John born 1896 (doc. #9601890), and Ellen born 1900 (doc. #17764)
2) James, born in 1867 (doc. #1618) married Maggie Furlong (his cousin).
I have not substantiated this.
3) Mary E. "Polly" born 1868 (doc. #3069).
4) Annie W. born 1869 (doc. #3484)
5) John Joseph, born April 25, 1871, died 1941 (doc. #7101363) a well known Sydney architect, married Eileen Estelle Jacobs in 1907 (doc. #12021). Eileen was born in 1886 and died in 1963 (doc. #571101). They had 3 children:
Jean born 1909 (doc. #2732) married Charles Jarratt in 1935 had 4 
children -- Ross (b. 1937), Jenefer (b. 1938), Carolyn (b. 1942) and Patricia 
(1944).
Edna born 1910 (doc. #13792) married Geoffrey Broughton Homes in 1935.
They had one son, Barry.
Geoffrey John born 1914 (doc. #29273), died 1989. Geoff was a 
bank manager in Sydney, a noted cartoonist and a POW from WWII, 
married Helen Lush and had 4 children -- Julie, David, and twins 
Suzanne and Annette.
6) Edward Patrick born 1873 (doc. #7302816).

James Parle married Elizabeth McCoy after Mary died and they had 10 children:

1&2) Herbert C. and Richard P. born 1884 (Twins) (doc. #8401964),
3) Arthur H. born 1885 (doc. #8502306),
4) Frank A. born 1889 (doc. #8095600),
5) Austin N. born 1890 (doc. #9002917),
6) Harold W. born 1892 (doc. #9202014), 
7) Charles Septimus, born 1893 (doc. #9339662),
8) Frederick Octavius, born 1895 (doc. 9519499), died 1963 (doc. #570235)
9) Dorothy R. born 1897 (doc. #9728326)
10) William L. born 1901 (doc. #47)

I believe this information has opened the door to lots more information on 
the Parle Family ... at least in Australia. If you would like to contact me 
on the internet my address is ose1@aol.com. Please use the subject "Parle 
Family" so I will recognize the mail. Thank you and I hope find the material 
interesting.

Great Grand-daughter of James Parle
