Circumstances of death edit
I've read that when Parr was eating with King Charles I, he choked on some food and died at the table. This seems to be someone's greatly exaggerated version of him simply not handling the change of diet after he went to London. -- JackofOz (talk) 03:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Image(s) needed edit
As I recall this article had some images originally. Where are they? How do we put an image request on the front page of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragemanchoo (talk • contribs)
Which Earl of Arundel? edit
However, he was blind and feeble when the Earl of Arundel met him, so it seems that he was very old, possibly a centenarian. Which one? There are about 5 different people this could be. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 20:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed so: the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd or 23rd in fact. Extremely sexy (talk) 19:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- In answer, if we assume this to be the Earl at time of Parr's death, it would be the 14th (parenthetically 19th) Earl, whose title was restored to him in 1604 and died in 1646.Cloptonson (talk) 11:05, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Winnington edit
Winnington where he lived had a wikilink connecting to Winnington, Cheshire, near Northwich. I have created a redlink Winnington, Shropshire to distinguish this from the Cheshire Winnington.Cloptonson (talk) 12:58, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Have added at Winnington (disambiguation) with a target to this article. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:00, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Age edit
A modern autopsy would not have found him to be under 70 years old if he was married for 60 years of his life, and there was a 12 year gap between his marriages. Nate Rybner 05:27, 14 June 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naterybner (talk • contribs)
