Alice Florence Parker / Queenie 1924-2018
Alice Florence Parker was born on 26/4/1924 to Janes Parker & Lucy Fedden
. . .
Her mother was very ill after her birth and she was cared for by Charles Haswell and his wife, Agnes Amelia Heales, 1877: she was the aunt of her father, James .( his mother being Emma Heales, the elder sister of Agnes). The Haswells had a daughter whose doll, Queenie, had recently been broken; her parents consoled her with the arrival of a reall baby to play with, so Alice acquired the name 'Queenie'. Back in 2009 , Queenie did not know who had looked after her and Chris did some detective work to find thi answer!, and Queenie was put in touch with a descendant of theirs, John
The family seemed to have had close contact with the Haswells during Queenie's early childhood, as she had clear memories of them
