Father's birthplace
I'm confused by the edit that was made to this article in 2019, stating that Parris' father was born in Barbados and not in Canada. Through Ancestry.com and other sources, it's possible to see the 1911 UK census form, which looks to have been completed by Eddie Parris' father John Parris, and which explicitly gives his place of birth (c. 1880) as St John, New Brunswick, Canada. The other places of birth appear to be correct - Annie (Annanie?) as Leicester, Annie's daughter Mabel also as Leicester, and Eddie Parris himself at Pwllmeyric two months before the census date. So, I'll change back the place of birth of Eddie's father to Canada, and await any further discussion here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:49, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

PS: Well, I've changed it back to Barbados, based on this article, which seems to be based on authoritative research. Odd, though. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
