Notes:

Name:
Father: George Parker

Notes:

Married:
They were married by license.

Notes:

Problem: Two daughters named Genet that grew to adulthood and got married. Why two girls of the same name?

George married Sybil Waide on 10 May 1551 in Sowerby, Halifax Parish, Yorkshire, England. Sybil (daughter of Gilbert Waide) was born in 1532 in Sowerby, Halifax Parish, Yorkshire, England; died in May 1573 in Sowerby, Halifax Parish, Yorkshire, England; was buried on 21 May 1573 in Sowerby, Halifax Parish, Yorkshire, England.

Notes:

Marriage: MacKenzie (1966) gives Gilbert a first wife named Cibella Waide. Torry (1961) gives her as the wife of Gilbert's son, George. I have relied on Torrey (1961) as a much more accurate source.

Burial: Torrey (1961) also gives the date as 4 March.
