Ray W Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, all you St Helens folk, does any member know of the whereabouts of living relatives to the famous lady footballer Lily Parr. I have just finished writing a story about her and would like to give them the opportunity to read my work before publication. The nearest I have got so far is that the wife of the late Saints player, Geoge Parr(thought to be related) went to live with a daughter somewhere in town. Any help or suggestions for research appreciated. Ray Waring, Tel.885547 Or email rayw91141(at)yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi Ray, If you Google "Lily Parr" there are many articles about her. One of thearticles shows a headstone with her sister's name as being Doris Reeves. Maybe this will be of help to you. Here is a listing of one of the articles. www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/../Inductees/lilyparr.htm Dingie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyll Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Lucy, to Connect, I don't know how much research you have already seen or done, but as others have mentioned there are a lot online, here are some links in case you haven't seen them before. She even has her own Wiki page, which contains more links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Parr http://www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/hall-of-fame/profiles/entry/lily-parr/ http://spartacus-educational.com/FparrL.htm http://www.suttonbeauty.org.uk/suttonhistory/sport/ (Scroll down to near bottom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
