Dear Christine
My name is Ellen and I am married to Gerry Parle who is the brother of Lily who
I believe you contacted not long ago. Her husband is Harry.
I did try to send an email a couple of weeks ago but I think the address was
incorrect.
Gerry and I live in Almeria, southern Spain and we would love to hear from you
and receive any information you have collected about our family. Lily has given
me the email address for a J Parle in Michigan U.S.A. and I have contacted him
to-day.
Please get in touch.
All the best

Hi everyone,
My name is Matt, I'm from Canberra, Australia and I'm obviously new to this group! The reason I'm here is because my mother's maiden name is Parle. All I know is her father's family came from Ireland (sorry, don't know where!: )
I was talking with my mum the other night and she mentioned that our "Parle" family are directly related to a French princess who also had the surname of Parle. Does anyone on the list know anything about a French princess who was a Parle?
Cheers, Matt.

I just confirmed with my mum that we are from County Wexford. Do all Parles originate from there? Sorry, I'm new to this and haven't had a chance to read any of the other posts!

Greetings Matt,
I haven't heard the tale of a French princess named Parle. Sounds like a cheerful tale though. As Wanda said, most Parles of Ireland came from Co. Wexford. Before that, there have been data suggesting that Parles came from Normandy or Flanders.

My great grandfather was Robert Parle married to Anna Lambert, from Ballandinas, Wexford. Children were Alice, Catherine, Jack and Bob. Rumour says that the family once fled from France heading for England. They ended up in Wexford and had the name Devries which later was changed. "Parlez vous francais?" hence to Parle. Anybody else hear a tale like this in their family?

Greetings Parle researchers,
The item below was posted at the Wexford message board at Rootsweb. The person has Parle ancestors from Ballandinas, about a quarter mile southeast of Barntown, and a mile west of Wexford town. Here's a different theory where the Parle name came from. Have never heard this one before. Maybe it could apply to some Wexford Parles, and not others.

Greetings Parle researchers,
Wexford family researcher Hilary Murphy has written:
"A census of Co. Wexford for the year 1659 shows that there were nineteen
Parles (rendered Pearle) in the Bargy at that time. In the previous century
there is a reference to Thomas Parle of Cowelsheiken, Co. Wexford, who was
killed in a quarrel in 1563, and to one Edmund Parle, of Brittas Co. Wicklow,
described as a galloglass in 1570."
Source: A notable family with Wexford associations
by Hilary Murphy.
The Bargy is a barony on the south-central coast of County Wexford. At
the east end of the Bargy is Kilmore; the west end of the Bargy is at Bannow; in
between is Duncormick, and the Bargy goes as far north to include part of the
old Taghmon civil parish. To see a map of the Bargy barony and other Wexford
baronies.
Check out:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlwex/wexgeography.html
I'm betting that the census that Hilary Murphy is referring is the so-called
"Pender's Census" of 1659 which, among other things, recorded the principal
Irish names in each barony. It would be interesting to see just how far the
Parle surname had spread by 1659. There were 19 Parles (families I presume) in
the Bargy by then. Were there Parle families in the Forth barony (which included
Wexford town), to the east of the Bargy? Or where there Parles in other Wexford
baronies?
If anyone has access to a copy of Pender's Census, could you look up the name Parle (Pearle) in the various Wexford baronies? We know that by the 1853 Griffith's Valuation, all the Parle surnames were in the southern half of the county. Perhaps we might be able to establish that two hundred years previous to this, Parle families were pretty much centralized in the Bargy area, and that this barony was the geographical source-point for the Parles in Co. Wexford. More research would be required to make this claim though.
For more on Pender's Census, see John Grenham's book, "Tracing your Irish Ancestors," (1999), p. 20.

I am a Parle, but am new to looking on the internet for genealogy. I
have joined the Egroups.com and am trying to figure where my line
might come from or if I am related to any of you. Where is Wexford
Town?
My family were O'Neils from Ireland - during the potato famine they came
to Restigouche, New Brunswick, CA - they supposedly took the name
of the boat which we always thought was The Parle, but now we
realize it could have been the ship The Pearl. This summer we went
to Halifax, Nova Scotia and tried to do some research. A little
lady we talked to said the word "Parle" with an Irish accent and it
sounded just like "Pearl".
I have looked at some of the ship lists on the internet and see that
there is definitely a ship "The Pearl" which did come from England
and I think Ireland to Canada.
My ancestor John D. Parle was born in 1852 and naturalized in
Philadelphia, Pa in 1865. On the naturalization papers it does not
list the parents, which is odd to me, as John D. Parle was only 13 when
he was naturalized. I am trying to find out who John D. Parle's
parents are. I would be very interested to know where your Parle's come
from and who they are. Thanks. Lynne
--------------------------------------------
I also have Parle (or Pearle) ancestors who lived in New Brunswick, but they
arrived there in the 1820'2 and settled in Jacquet River or Beresford ( land
grant in Beresford in 1838). I don't know anything about a ship's name having
been taken. The story in my family is that
a Parle ancestor was an American soldier during the Revolution. Other Parles
were granted land in New Brunswick in the 1820's and '30's. I will look through
my information about that branch. There is some information about Parles in the
New Brunswick archives.

Hello Lynn,
I wonder if the name of your Michael Parle's parents would appear on Michael's death certificate, from Oct. 1905. If that info materializes, you might be able to find the civil parish and townland he came from in that all the Wexford Parle households in the 1853 Griffith's Valuation are listed in the archives of this Parle egroup, on the messages posted on: May 4, 2001, and June 4, 2001.
The other point is that you can be pretty much assured that your Wexford Parle came from the southern half of the county, based on the geographic research done by Judy Parle using the 1853 Griffith's data.
Best wishes.
