Can't find Joseph, but Eliza Jane (reverted to Parsons surname) can be found in 1921

Thanks Lizzie. Was the 1939 entry for her still in Birmingham? I can't find an entry there for an Eliza Parson born any time around 1895

You need to amend your subject header to Perkins - I've altered it on my replies

Please can you tell me how?

The information on Charles's marriage to Jones is substantially correct, except that subsequent events clearly demonstrate that he was not a widower.

Apologies. He was Perkins. I had just been dealing with the antecedents of Elizabeth Jane Jones and her husband's name must have stuck in my head.

Warwickshire / What happened to Joseph Parsons?
« on: Sunday 21 January 24 20:22 GMT (UK)  »
Ann Elizabeth Latham (1866-1948) married Charles Linford (1865-1942) in their home town, Birmingham, in July 1884. By 1897 they had 5 children.
However, by 1900 Ann had produced a daughter, Annie Elizabeth (20 Feb 1900) sired by one Joseph Perkins, another Birmingham resident. By 1905 Ann Elizabeth and Joseph were living together in Sheffield, where on 8 March 1905 she produced another of Joseph’s children, this time a son, John William (1905-1997). On 18 May 1909 Ann Elizabeth produced a third seemingly illegitimate child whose birth she registered as Doris Perkins Linford, still in Sheffield but this time without a father’s name on the certificate.
Meanwhile in 1898 Charles Linford had married a widow, Elizabeth Jane Parsons, nee Jones, who appears with him in 1911.
By 1921 Ann Elizabeth appears to be back in Birmingham, where she is recorded as E Annie Linford (65), once more wife of Charles, alongside daughter Doris, born Sheffield 1909. She is definitely Charles’s first wife because the 1939 Register of England and Wales records the couple as living in Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire, naming her as Annie E Linford and quoting her correct date of birth.
We have been unable to identify a death record for Elizabeth Jane Jones Linford or any further information on Joseph Perkins.
Please can anyone help to solve this puzzle?

The Lighter Side / Re: "Your family made the news"

I can boast two newsworthy ancestors.

My paternal third great grandfather was transported to Australia in 1817 for "having in his possession counterfeit banknotes". A considerable amount of digging revealed the fact that the total sum of his skulduggery amounted to £3.00. His 14 year term rnfded abruptly with his death in 1823. Though we were able to uncover a burial certificate no amount of research has uncovered his cause of death.

On the maternal side of my tree a second cousin, a professional silversmith, spent the entirety of WW1 in prison for manufacturing and distributing his own two shilling pieces on an industrial scale.

Hi Rosie,

Yes thanks, those are indeed the ones I refer to. My daughter has just had an offer to purchase one of them accepted and is waiting for the formalities to be completed. From the images it is clearly Victorian and, given my interest in history, she asked me to find out what I can.

At this stage superstition creeps in. I don't want to name the house involved for the moment.

Please can anyone tell me when Park Lane, Horton was first developed or anything of its history or the individual histories of its beautiful old properties?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
