Lincoln Leader and County Advertiser: 3rd November 1900

The Parkers of Claxby: The Parkers, of Claxby, in this county, bid fair to become famous. The head of the family was the Rector, the Rev. Richard Parker, one of whose sons has just been appointed Attorney Generals’ “devil”- a position which usually leads to a judgeship. A daughter is the authoress, Mrs. Ellen F. Pinsent. She was born in 1866, and at twenty-two married Mr. H. F. Pinsent, of Birmingham … (discussion of books) … Mr. R. J. Parker, of the Chancery Bar, is forty-two years of age, and is one of the youngest men ever to be chosen to fill the position mentioned. He was called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn nearly seventeen years ago and has “devilled” for the busy Chancery lawyer whom he succeeds in one of the most coveted legal positions.
