Caroline Hill was the illegitimate daughter of Harriet Hill. When she was 15 months old her mother married John Rhoden a miner at Bushbury Colliery. Subsequent DNA evidence shows that John Henry Rhoden or a very close relative of him was indeed her likely father.

Her mother died in 1916 and her father in 1920, the two other important people in her life Grandfather John Hill died in 1918 and Grandmother Esther (Jenks) in 1920 one month before her father.
Carrie ad her 3 other siblings were split between other family members,.

Carrie and Harriet moved back to the old family home at Gt Wyrley Street with her 2 Uncles John and Samuel and Aunt Doris.

Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate Omits Father's Name
Second Name of Tonks almost certainly is his father's Surname as his sisters birth certificates named George Tonks as their father (i.e. Clara and Alice Tonks who died in Ratcliffe Culey in the 1950's). Also his mother Jane Parsons married George Tonks 4 years after he was born.

In 1881 census age 16 he was listed as George Tonks, an indoor farm servant to John Henry Farmer of the Mythe.

When George James Parsons was born he was living at Coleshill Street Atherstone.

In 1881 the Rector of Hoby was also the Rector of Rotherby and the Rectory at Rotherby was leased to Lady Sarah Wilson. Joseph lived in the Gardeners cottage at Hoby Rectory and no doubt his duties included the gardens at Rotherby rectory a short walk across the fields. Maria was a ladies maid at Rotherby Hall and this is no doubt how they met.

In the 1891 census Joseph Parsons was the gardener at The Elms, Leicester Road, Loughborough the home of E.H. Warner the owner of a substantial hosiery business who provided land in Moor Lane to build a new church for this area of Loughborough. Christ Church was consecrated in 1878 and Derrick Hewitt in his book " The Life And Times of Holy Trinity " writes :-

" The role of verger at Holy Trinity for the 122 years of its existence remained for virtually all of the time within the hands of two families. This is indicative of the faithfulness which is so much a feature of Holy Trinity life and service. .................................................
In 1900 the office of Verger passed to the Parsons family with whom it was to remain for well over 50 years. The first member of that family to hold office was Mr J. W. Parsons who lived at 8 Cobden Street before moving to what was to become the family home of 29 School Street in 1906. He was succeeded in 1926, after 27 years service, by his son William Henry Parsons and he was to hold the office until his death in 1951. "
