hi i'm following my family perry line back to the 1841 census at charlton st peter and rushall. I'm just trying to thin out the families and find a line back.
in the 1841c my gr gr grandfather: Thomas Perry bn Shrewton abt 1811
Thomas perry 30, Elizabeth 30 (more likely 33, several sources), john 14, sarah 11, edward 9, rhoda 7, martha 5, mary 3, +jane maslen 25
his wife elizabeth from all censuses and bapt records was born in Nth Newnton 1808. On other sites there are many links to maslen's of various spellings, and jane maslen is in their household aged 25 in 1841c. I should find his birth and marriage first.
There were 28 perry's on the charlton parish census for 1841 and with no reference to relationship it makes it hard to build families. I have all the census notes for thomas and his family right through but i'm not certain about their deaths yet. Their first recorded child is sarah aged 11 in 1841, although there was a john 14 in their household for the 1841 census, he is not necessarily their son or perhaps elizabeths, as they would have been very young.
ok i've found :
1829 dec 25 Sarah Ann Perry D thomas & elizabeth Lab. Charl st peter
1832 apr 22 Edward Perry S parents & location same
so that's two more children confirmed, the only john that had the right date had a different mother unless they split up after john or,
two john perry's born about the same time allocated to two families, correct parents, in rushall. So who is this john? could point to my lineage. His age if correct would make thomas and eliz 16 and 19 ish.
the other census perry's for charlton 1841, some of which i've grouped are:
1841c= sarah perry 65, thomas 20, joseph 20, charles 15, stephen 7.

Could find no birth for william. birthplace?
1835 jan 18 emily perry D to above parents. charlton,wilts.
1836 jun 03 louisa perry D " charlton, wilts.
1837 dec 25 alfred perry S " charlton, wilts.
1840 jun 21 ellen perry D " charlton, wilts.
john perry 55, tabitha 60. 1841 census. births not found on my area cd.
mary jane 1816 sep 15. john & bitha charl. think this is Tabitha.
John Blackman 35, mary blackman 45 (nee perry), elizabeth perry 18, john 15, frederick 14. plus sarah blackman 9 (john and mary's child jul 01 1832)
plus four kids on the parish baptisms to James and Mary perry:
1822 jul 7 elizabeth perry D rushall - marry john davis 1841 CH. look 1841 household??
1825 feb 2 john perry S rushall
1827 dec 23 frederick perry S Charlton St Peter
plus 1820 feb 20 george perry S rushall - is likely the george referred to in a different household for the 1841 census and married to emma. george perry 20, emma 20, james 2, frederick 5 months. i found the marriage ref: 1838 charlton,wilts- george perry father james, married emma davies father george & mary
Also found a possible marriage for James and Mary perry:
1819 apr 26 James perry of charlton, to Mary venn of rushall.
Any death of james or remarrying to john blackman should be between the youngest child frederick dec 23 1827 and the 1841 census:
1831 jul 30 john blackman marriage to mary perry, charlton.
In trying to trace james perry's line back it might provide a link to my thomas, i did find a death reference: james perry 1830 oct 5, parents obadiah & elizabeth, burial chapmanslade. I believe this is the death of a child to the couple as there is a christening in 1828. So i still have to find james.
appreciate any help thanks
