Helen Dameral’s father was Archiebold Sidney Damerel from Plymouth. He was a piano tuner with a excelent voice. There name Damerall goes back to a navy captain in the 1500′s there may be a record in Plymouth.
Edgar Parken took my granny, who he employed, to cinema and proposed after. As he told it to me he had done it now. When I new him he was a very old victorian gentalman, he enjoyed tinkering with radios. He did not aprove of granny giving me old clocks to repare (take apart) because there were reparable.
More history of Parken see Brailsford
Moved to Leven, near St. Andrews, Scotland. Later left Florence with the business and moved to Brighton and granny purchased lots of paintings cheap and a house. My grandfather Edgar was an artist in photography the photograph of St. David’s Church, Plymouth in 1908 was a half hour exposure and people walked in and out of the church during the exposure is technically excellent.
He bought in to the first photographic business in Scotland , with Adams in Edinburgh in 1922 or 23, the business moved to Vorth, Berwick, then to Leven, St. Andrews, where there was seven shops. That business started in about 1855. Adams was an excellent photographer the Parken family have photos from 1850′s with fantastic detail. This was the first photographic bussiness in Scotland.
Both Edgar and Edwin were brought up by Miss Poole as there mother died young. I don’t know who brought up Tom.
Edward Parken immigrated to South Africa in 1950′s.
Dorithy Parken her father bought her a house in Gravesend she never moved from because she was the black sheep and should never do photography. Consequently was a WAF photographer with husband Roger.
Roger killed at road junction on bicycle by a car in 1970.
Arthur Parken immigrated to Canada in 1957?.
I was also talking to mum about the Israel situation many people say that the conflict was a problem primarily created by the British. I told mum about speaking to a chap who had severed in the British forces throwing Arabs out of there home in 1948 delousing them and manhandling them on to tramp ships – he hatted what he had done for his country. Mum told me that just prior to that her brother Arther was in the British Armed forces protecting Palestinians from Jews come in to the Country in ship loads. – The British changed sides.
Wilfred Parken Farm worker before immigrating to Canada in 1955? Drove lorries, and lived under the counter of his photographic shop on baked beans.
