This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name.
Parr
English: habitational name from Parr in Lancashire, which was named in Old English with pearr ‘enclosure’.
German: from Middle Low German parre ‘parish’, ‘district’, ‘minister’s house’; a metonymic occupational name for a parson or for someone who worked in a parsonage or manse. Compare Pfarr.
Hope this helps.

There are over 200 people on the UK Electoral Roll.
To see if there is a Tree for a branch of the Parr family on the web, try asking Google for "Parr Family" and see what comes up.
You could have the luck of the stray lightning bolt and recognise a cousin if there is a published tree, but it is more likely that you would have to trace back quite a few generations to find a related twiglet.
If you are in the UK, the Society of Genealogists in London would be able to tell you what they have in the way of deposited Trees and so would any of the County Family History Societies if you know your Family origins.
