I am trying to find out more about my Uncle. At one time he had a jewellery business in the Jewellery Quarter known ( I believe) as Parker & Parker. The other Parker was a Fred Parker, although he was not related to the other, they just shared the same surname. I believe that they had a disagreement and Fred Parker bought out Vic (as he was known) and for a time Fred Parker's son, Arden took the business over. Vic was a colourful character to say the least with a number of businesses over the years. In 1971 and his family emigrated to Australia (probably under the £1 Pom scheme) and in typical Vic style he exported a Rolls Royce on the ship that they took to their new life down under. For some unknown reason, Vic had very little to do with his brothers and sisters and I would really appreciate anyone who knew my uncle to get in touch. For a long time Vic and his family lived in Handsworth.
