The name indicates that the Parker famiky probably has roots in the Gloucester / Worcester / Hereford area. As I'm sure our Edgar Street readers know, "Peel" and its female equivalent "Petal" were popular names amongest Catholics in that area in the eighteenth century, being a contraction of "Peter and Paul" and therefore providing double Saintly protection in a single name.
