The Death of Mary Jane Perfit nee Perryman
« on: Saturday 24 June 17 16:40 BST (UK) »
I cannot find her death at all.
M.J born 1832, married George Perfit, January 1852 • St George Hanover Square, London.
George was a gunner in the R.F.A and served in the Crimea & Gibraltar at the time there last child was born(1864), however on the next english census in 1871, George had re-married and there was no sign of M.J apart from there children. So, I can only assume that she had died abroad...
Can anyone help?

He also served along side his half brother Jeremiah Perfit who married Mary Jane's cousin Eliza ann Perryman.

I would be very greatfull for any information.

Do you know what year he remarried? **  That might help narrow down a death year for Mary Jane.

She was clearly alive in 1864 if a child was born.

** this could be it to Hannah Dovey 2 Jan 1868.

Which child was born in 1864 only in 1871 (if I am looking at the correct family) there is a son Fred age 5 born Woolwich.

Presume the little girl age 2 is the daughter of Hannah. 

Then there is a 4 year old daughter Harriet as well so who was her mother.

Yes He married Hannah Dovey 1868 and Fred was Hannah's son, it has him down as Fred.D Perfit(1871 census) but in later life he uses the name Dovey and lists his father on marriage Banns as Thomas Dovey. So Mary Jane died between 1864 and 1868. Gibraltar most possibly..?
