In 1865, a Thomas Parr became the first chairman of Parr's bank, in Warrington, Lancashire.
In the 18th century, the Parr family gained wealth from sugar refining.
Joseph Parr used this wealth to establish a private bank in Winwick Street, Warrington, Lancs., on 25 Sep 1788, named as Parr & Co. His partners were Thomas Lyon, brewer and sugar refiner (Joseph's brother-in-law), and Walter Kerfoot, attorney. It was also known as Warrington Bank.After several name changes and mergers, and having grown to 329 branches, they amalgamated with London County & Westminster Bank Ltd in 1918. This later became the National Westminster Bank.
Joseph Parr married Thomas Lyon's sister, Ellen, 18 Oct 1780 at Warrington, Lancashire. I have not established if they are Thomas' parents. Joseph's mother was Hannah.
Thomas and his two wives are buried in a vault at St. Wilfred's Church. A photo of their memorial plaque, and more details of the Parr family can be found here: http://home.clara.net/craigthornber/cheshire/htmlfiles/grappen.html
