Hello William

Obituary of Captain Parr from the Victoria Daily Times, Thursday, August 4, 1398, Page 13



He is mentioned a lot in this book about the British Invasion of Tibet, which can be borrowed from archive.org

archive.org/details/britishinvasiono0000unse/mode/2up?q=parr

Additionally, the Journal of the Irish Philatelic Circle did a write about Capt. Parr and his wife - page 67 to 68
