I suspect that Clara shacked up with William Edward Tyzack quite early on. Just trying to work out who Calra Paercival was - presumably the neice of the elder Clara?

He joined up 14 Dec 1914 giving mother as nok.

In the army papers he lists his three 'half-blood siblings':

Arthur Parsons 33 - Kennedy Road Sheffield
Lucy Parsons 36 - 101 Marshall Road, Sheffield
Harold Parsons 31 - somewhere in London

So, he did know Arthur Parsons was not his father.

I can't see them in incoming passenger lists before 1911.

I can't find Clara on the 1910 US census; there is a William E Parsons, born England, aged 14, lodging in Gloucester, Mass. with an unmarried Texan physician called Frank Logan, but there's an American Parsons family living a couple of doors away, so he may be related to them.

Persumably after she'd produced three Parsons children though? How do we know the forenames of William's father?

I can't access FMP on this computer, so apologies if that link answers anything!

Ah, OK Clara is "Mrs" Tyzack in 1901! He is William aged 37 from Sheffield - living on own means. They have her niece (see prev post) living with them.

[Phoenix]

Yes, in 1891 Clara is living with William (Edward?) Tyzack as man and wife and they have her niece by her sister Mary Ann living with them.

The William Edward Tyzack born in the Eccleshall RD in 1853 was presumably the one living with Clara in 1891.

There was a Clara coming back (1909??) but she didn't have William with her so I wasn't sure if it was her. I can't find him coming back independently, but clearly he did!

William Edward Tyzack senr married Sarah Ann Mills in 1880 EB district. They are together in 1881. I've not found Sarah Ann after 1881 at the mo.

Sarah should appear in 1891:

Deaths Dec 1900
Tyzack Sarah Ann 45 Ecclesall B. 9c 290
