Richard Millington Perks

[Phodgetts]

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have taken to help me thus far. I am correct in plotting the tree as is?

Please ignore the death date for Rachel Perks. I am having great difficulty identifying her after 1881.

This is Thomas Perks family group sheet with room for adjustments.

I wondered also if the Karenapuck is just some written form of the Midlands accent for Karen Perk(s)

It does throw up some strange things doesn't it.

Karenapuck or the correct spelling Keren-Happuch is an old Hebrew name,she calls herself plain old Keren on her marriage entry.
John Perks & Eleanor Porter aren't Richards parents,they had a son George born 1769 & someone has made a leap over common sense & hammered them in.
Rachel Hunt nee Perks is a patient in the Workhouse in 1901 so I think the 1905 death is the right one.
These are Richard & Ann's children from page 2.11 in total.

b]Richard[/b] m Ann Snape 1790
Children:
Thomas b.1790
Ann b.1792
Henry b.1795
(There may be others I haven't found yet)
others:
Samuel b.1797
Richard b.1799
Dinah b.1800
John b.1802
Sarah b.1806
Josiah b.1808
Benjamin(Millington) b.1809
Jemima b.1812/d.1816

There's no evidence Richard was born in 1769,all it states is he was 70 in 1841 giving a birth range of 1767-71.

All this information is fascinating. What indexes are you using to get the information?

The BMD I'm getting from the St.Martin's PR's.(disc)
I also have a Benjamin Millington Perks (aged 14 months) death entry for 1830 from the NBI.(disc)
Ancestry & IGI are the others.

found an interesting marriage:Ann Perks(28)=John Howith/Father George Perks.Witnesses John & Lucy Perks.This would be the John & Lucy nee Tilsley Richard is with in 1841.Who are Ann & George?Is he the George born 1769 to John Perks & Mary Porter?
A red  herring I think,she came from Preston Bagot & had a brother & sister called John & Lucy.
a couple of Perks marriages for you.

[Phodgetts]

Oh, wow, thank you! That is definitely my Rachel Perks and John Neal. Later (1864) she married Charles Hunt. That is one of the knots that took me a little while to see through.

An interesting point is that Rachel's father being a steel toy maker....... they apparently were not children's toys as we know toys to be but small items like snuff boxes and other little pocket items that were often gilt or engraved.

That marraige between Keren and William Skinner has floored me because when I check the marriage and try to cross reference it on Astry I get William Skinner as Q4 1845 Birmingham vol 16 pg 473 but the only matching reference the other way is for Kezia! Am I being obtuse? Perhaps it would be better for me if you didn't answer that
