#2 William PARKER - Evansville Potter ["Brett Payne"
<bpayne(a)xtra.co.nz>]
Greetings.
I am from New Zealand, but researching a gg-uncle who emigrated from
Derbyshire,
England to the US in about 1901. William PARKER was born
in 1877 in Newhall, South Derbyshire, and as a young man worked in
the potteries. He emigrated to Camden, near Trenton, New Jersey
where he presumably worked for the potteries before moving to Kokomo,
Indiana. He was in that town when he wrote a letter to his sister
and brother-in-law in January 1901, and was still there in June that
year, at the time of the census.
However, he is listed in an address book used by my grandfather c.
1914 at 309
Chestnut Ave., Evansville, Indiana, so I presume he moved
there to work in one of the potteries. I have seen references to the
Crown Pottery employing young men in Evansville at around this time,
but it may not have been the only firm operating.
I would appreciate any help with finding William PARKER in any lists
of the period,
such as directories, employment records etc., please.
Also any background information to the town and the potteries c. 1914
would also be very welcome. I haven't found any sign of William
PARKER after this date, despite extensive searches in the 1920
census, so would be grateful for any assistance. Of course he may
have returned to England!
Thanks very much for your time. Regards and best wishes,
Brett Payne
