Found an old email from a kind researcher in England who checked the pre-1846 Baptismal records in Lincolnshire:
Benjamin Parker, son of Thomas and Elizabeth, Bap. 23 Nov 1817 in Friskney.
That's the only Benjamin around the year requested.
There is William Parker, son of Thomas and Elizabeth, Bap. 13 April 1814, in Friskney.
Henry Parker, son of Thomas and Elizabeth, Bap. 3 Jan 1832 in Friskney.
Marriage record in Lincolnshire:
Thomas Parker married Elizabeth Cook 12 Nov 1812 in Friskney.
Perhaps their other children were Baptized elsewhere. I'm sure there was one more Baptism record I found at IGI for a Parker in Friskney, maybe Sarah or Eliza.
This record is found in Oakland County, Michigan, USA:
Oakland County Probate Records:

These are naturalizations in Oakland County, Michigan:

At Royal Oak Cemetery, Royal Oak, Oak. Co. Michigan: (same cemetery as Benjamin and Mary Ann Carver Parker):
page 81; Section G, Row 4

Charles Parker (son of B. and M.) d. Dec. 29, 1854; 5y 8m 11d
"US Index and Records of Alien Declarations/ Vol. 1-11, A-Z":
Book# 9305
page 8, Parker, Benj., landed Phila 1843
page 9 Parker, John, landed Phil. Pa 1843
page 10 Parker, Thomas, landed Phila Pa 1843
page 10 Parker, Wm., landed Phila Pa 1843
This does not mean these are our Parkers, but are in a good time frame to be one of our families immigrating. (Does anyone know the minimum age for making an Alien Declaration in that era?)I wondered if the date could be date of the Declaration, and not necessarily date of arrival. Did foreigners have to make this declaration immediately?
Parkers in Royal Oak Twp., Oakland County, Michigan.
There are 4 Parker families from England:
Benjamin (b. 1818) and Mary (related to me)
Thomas (b. 1798) & Elizabeth (related to me)
Jarvis (b. 1810) & Angeline
Francis (b. 1817) & Julianne
Also an Eliza (b. 1831) married Rufus Squires (related to me)
SHIP St. Laurance Liverpool to New York:
Thomas Parker age 45 Date of arrival May 23, 1838
Mrs. Parker age 50
Benjamin age 21 (1900 census of Michigan shows year of immigration as 1838)
Mary age 18
Sarah age 17
Susanna age 16
Thomas age 13
Eliza age 8 (married Squires)
Henry age 7
If you can relate to any of this info, let me know. I'm determined to identify all my Parkers and their descendants in Oakland County and Sanilac County, Michigan, and elsewhere.
I believe our Parkers came from Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, and immigrated in different years, perhaps some traveling alone. Perhaps as early as 1800 and to 1843 or even later. Since more than one of my related surnames originate in Friskney, Linc. Eng, it's been interesting to find Parker
there as well.
I'd like contact with any Parker (of Michigan) descendant.
