Admiral of the Fleet Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet, GCB (1 December 1781 13 November 1866) was born at Almington, Staffordshire, England. He was not related to the previous Admiral Sir William Parker. His father, George Parker, was the second son of Sir Thomas Parker, who had been Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Sir Thomas Parker''s nephew (by marriage to his daughter Martha) was John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent. William Parker entered the Royal Navy in February 1793 as a captain''s servant on the HMS Orion, serving under Captain John Thomas Duckworth. The Orion was part of the Channel fleet under Lord Howe and took part in the Battle of The Glorious First of June. When Captain Duckworth was assigned to another ship, Leviathan, Parker followed him, and sailed with him to the West Indies where Duckworth appointed him acting lieutenant of the frigate Magicienne. In May 1798 he was appointed to the Queen, flagship of Sir Hyde Parker, and on May 1, 1799 became acting captain of the Volage. During the next few months he cruised in the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Cuba.
