On Tuesday she had her name and address written on a paper in her pocket as was customary since she suffered from loss of memory. Her son wrapped sixpence in a paper and wrote on it the kind of tobacco he wanted. She did not apparently go to the shop, but paid a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Smallman, of Dearne Street, Great Houghton.
Shortly afterwards she left, and evidently went in the direction of Thurnscoe, for her son learned on Wednesday that she was seen by a Mrs. Careless going towards Thurnscoe, and was later seen her William Haveyard, passing Thurnscoe Schools, at about 1.45 p.m Later, somebody thought they saw her in Marr Road, going towards Doncaster.

When Mrs, Parker did not return home her son and his wife became uneasy and informed the notice.
