Pask Medal on E-Bay continued

Further to the recent blog Pask Medal on E-Bay, we have been requested to bid for this. So it would be appreciated that no one else in the family bids against us.

If you intended to purchase it, please let us know. The main thing is to ensure that the medal remains with the Pask family.

The latest version of Suffolk Volume II is now available from http://www.lulu.com/. There is an additional 16 pages and 20 photographs. This has increased the cost to £8, plus postage.

Many thanks to those who have contributed to the update:

  • Lyndie Bogle, who provided an update on her family information, particularly the descendants of her grandparents Frederick George & Beatrice Kate Pask née Crack.
  • Margaret Scourfield-Thomas née Pask - an update on her family information, and clarification of her surname Scourfield-Thomas, which is often indexed incorrection under the name of Thomas.
  • James Harvey for information on his great-grandmother Florence Ellen Harvey née Paske, and her descendants, including photographs of her, and her son, and grandson.
  • David Pask, for his detailed documented information, including photographs provided at the Pask Family Gathering, on the descendants of Ann Pask. This has resulted in a new section on the descendants of Harry & Beatrice Pask née Parker, and a revised section on Bertie Charles & Harriet Ellen Pask née Vince. For more information see the recent blog titled Harry & Beatrice Pask née Parker.

Details of all Pask Publications are available on the website.

If you would like to purchase this revised Volume II, and do not feel happy about ordering it through the internet, contact us and will purchase it on your behalf.

Hover your mouse over their faces. Alternatively click on their face to display the narrative of their Pask ancestor, or connection.

Harry & Beatrice Pask née Parker

Harry Pask (1879-1933)in 1901 at the Carlton Club, London This information relates to the main Suffolk tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow.








We met David & May Pask, and their daughter Corinne, at the Pask Family Gathering in July. David has been researching his family and contacted us first in 2006. He has provided extensive documented information, certificates, and photographs on his grandparents Harry and Beatrice Pask née Parker, and his family.

This information has now been included in the database, and will be included in the next website update. Also in the next edition of the Suffolk Volume II publication.

New Suffolk Icons

This information relates to the main Suffolk tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow.

The family tree of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow spans two publications:

    1. Volume I - focuses on the descendants of their eldest son John, and his wife Catherine Pask née Kippen
    2. Volume II - covers the descendants of their second son Daniel, and his wives Elizabeth Pask née Manning, and Mary Pask née Peachey
To make it easy to identify which volume the person belongs to, I have created two new icons to indicate the relevant volume. .
