The Death of Mary Jane Perfit nee Perryman

[Kit Perfit]

Yes Mary Jane appears on several other Banns sometimes using her maiden name..
Soldiers and wife's at close quarters I suppose,.

It is confusing isn't it but Gibraltar certainly seems to be the key if the 2 children you mention were born there but with different mothers.  Maybe Mary Jane died just after the birth of that child.

Yet he remarried in England and the children were baptised in England so must have been a quick bit of to'ing and fro'ing.

As the Gibraltar National Archives, start at 1869.

Came across your message and may be able to provide some information.  Mary Jane and George Perfit were my great grandparents. My grandmother Eliza Caroline Perfit was baptised 22nd February 1863 at The Kings Chapel in Gibraltar.  I have researched Perfits and have a little more information.
