Death Datebef 20 May 1817 [7519]
MemoBy her absence from husband’s will.
Research
A Robert PARNELL married Ann COLE in Peterborough, St John, 26-FEB-1764, so if that’s the same couple, then John & William were “late” children.

Another possibility: Ann Cave CAPPS, m. 02-JUL-1778,
Peterborough, St John. It’s a better fit to birth date of their son, Thomas, but the marriage is not found in the Northants Marriage Index.

Misc. Notes
Will of Robert PARNELL, Gentleman of Thorney Causeway in the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire, 20–MAY-1817, proved 29-JAN-1818. The will names sons Thomas and William and Charles, and John and Robert (both of Spalding, Lincolnshire). It does not appear to mention his wife, so Ann must have died before the will was written. A codicil was added 18-OCT-1817 to modify the inheritance of son John. [7519] (is this will written in the 3rd person?)
Research
possible additional children: Elizabeth 1783-1794
Ann 1786-

Possible baptism records for Robert
PARNEL [sic]:
13-SEP-1744
Peterborough, St John
son of Francis & Margaret PARNEL [sic]
This would be a possible match with marriage of Francis PARNELL and Margrett [sic] SMITH, 20-OCT-1743, Stamford Baron St. Martin C of E.
Francis & Margaret also had son James, bapt.
18 Dec 1751, dau. Frances bapt.26 Dec 1754, son Francis, bapt. 9 Jun 1746, Ann bapt.13 Sep 1744, Margarett bapt. 24 Apr 1757, Elisabeth bapt. 10 Jul 1749

24-JAN-1749
Peterborough, St John
son of Robert and Mary PARNEL [sic]
This would be a possible match with marriage of Robert PARNELL of Peterboro and Mary DRAKE of Oundle, 17-MAY-1744.
Robert & Mary also had dau.
Eleanor, bapt. 23 Jan 1750, John bapt. 22 Jun 1755, William bapt. 22 Feb 1748, Thomas bapt. 1 May 1754, Mary bapt. 25 Feb 1746, Richard bapt. 20 Aug 1758, Ann bapt. 31 Dec 1756
(naming pattern also is a better match with known family than the earlier Robert above).

However the children named in the will fit better on the dates and their mother was Ann.
