William Parker Snow
William Parker Snow (1817–1895) was a minor Arctic explorer, writer and mariner.
==Early life==
William Parker Snow was born at Poole, England on 27 November 1817, the eldest son of Lieutenant William John Snow (1788–1827), a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812,and Harriet ''nee'' Parker (c. 1802 – 1835, a descendent of Oliver Cromwell). Following his father's death he was admitted into the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich and in 1833 was apprenticed to the merchant marine, making his first two voyages to India and later voyages to New South Wales and the Dutch East Indies. He also spent a brief period in the Royal Navy on board the Cherokee class brig-sloop HMS ''Griffon'' and was one of the prize crew of the slaver ''Don Francisco'' captured off Dominica in 1837.
Parker Snow married a London house-maid Sarah Williams in 1839, consequently being ostracised by his family, and they emigrated to Melbourne where they managed a hotel during 1840. Returning prematurely to England due to ill health, an attempt to organise a return to Australia with three other young people including his younger sister and her husband (his wife's brother) failed, and saw him convicted of swindling in 1842 and gaoled for a year.
After his release, the Parker Snows became reconciled with his step father and they spent some years in Europe, where William Parker Snow worked for some time as librarian at the Baths of Lucca in Tuscany, and here wrote his first book (a guide to the baths) in 1846. On returning to England he performed editorial and transcription work for William Johnson Neale and Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay.
