Hi,

John Perham 58  Yarcombe, Devon, England Head  Buckland St Mary  Somerset   
Martha Perham 25  Combe St Nicholas, Somerset, England Daughter  Buckland St Mary  Somerset   
Mary Perham 59  Membury, Devon, England Wife  Buckland St Mary  Somerset   

1881 Census

John Perham abt 1814  Yarcombe, Devon, England Head  Buckland St Mary   
Martha Perham abt 1847  Combe St Nicholas, Somerset, England Daughter  Buckland St Mary   
Mary Perham abt 1814  Yarcombe, Devon, England Wife  Buckland St Mary   
Samuel E. Perham abt 1851  Buckland S Mary, Somerset, England Son  Buckland St Mary   
Rosa Scriven abt 1862  CombeS Nicholas, Somerset, England Servant  Buckland St Mary   
Clara Westlake abt 1875  Exeter, Devon, England Niece  Buckland St Mary   
Flora Wyatt abt 1870  Uplyme, Devon, England Niece  Buckland St Mary   
Samuel Perham 21  Buckland St Mary, Somerset, England Son  Buckland St Mary  Somerset   

1891 Census

Buckland St Mary, Somerset
Cross House
John Perham, head, m, 79, farner, yarcombe devon
Mary, wife, m, 78, yarcombe, devon
Mary Westlake, daug, wid, 50, living on her own mean, somerset ? St Nicholas
Susan Wyatt, daug, m, 54 Devon Mambury
JOhn Wyatt, son in law, m, 53, farmer, somerset buckland st mary
Ellen Smith, serv, s, 16, general servant domestic, somerset Hambridge


Was this the 'history' you were after? If so i hope it helps. I think the 'nieces' in the 1881 census were probably granddaughters, judging by the surnames of the married daughters.


Regards

Paula

Thanks for that information. I already had some of that. The trouble I have is that one of his children...born 1854, a Frederick PERHAM, I need to see with this family. I was really hoping to get hold of some information from a 1861 census. Frederick PERHAM was travelling in the 1881 census and he was training as an apprentice in the Spirit and Wine Trade in the 1871 census. I know he was born in Buckland St Mary and that he had a brother called John and that his father was called John - but that's all - I guess I really need that information on the 1861 census....how do I get this? Do you know?
Thanks -
Also do you think they changed their name from PERIM to PERHAM???

I think its probable that the vicar/curate just wrote the name as he thought it was spelt, often if the vicar's weren't from the area they seemed to have trouble with understanding accents, this is what i've noticed with some of my names.

I don't mind helping you but can i  suggest that you be more specific in your posts. Your first message was quite vague and i ended up posting alot of information which you already had. Your second message should have been your first post as it was alot more specific.

The 1861 devon census is slowly being put online at freecen.rootsweb.com so it may be worth looking there. If you can't find your people i'd suggest asking for a search in the lookup request section.

Thanks, Paula
I didn't mean to be so vague. The information you sent me was useful, especially the IGC stuff, as I never considered that there was a spelling problem, so to speak.
