Perkins in Shepshed 1841

[Helen1]

We are looking for Jacob Perkins in the Shepshed area born between 1800 and 1820, possibly in 1841 or 1851 census. Also looking for info on his parents, can anybody help?
Thanks.

Hi, bit of a long shot that you’re still looking after all this time.  However I have a Jacob Perkins born circa 1819.  Married a Rebecca Bates in Shepshed and had three children.  I have Jacob before his marriage in Whitwick close to Shepshed in 1841.  Then Rebecca and one child in Shepshed in 1851.  No Jacob.  However two more children were baptised in 1853 & 1856.

Jacob Perkins bapt 24 Jan 1819 in Whitwick; father William, a FWK, mother Mary; abode Thringstone.

Jacob's marriage licence (1841) confirms that he was from Thringstone.

William Perkins married Mary Griffin by banns at Whitwick on 13 Nov 1797, both OTP.

Whitwick/Thringstone  are more of less the same place.  You walk down a road and you move from one village to the next.   I live fairly locally.

This is William, Mary and Jacob in 1841, although Jacob's occupation is different:-

It gives the abode is Whitwick but the image is Thringstone

There are trees with a death certificate for Rebecca.

It was on 10th July 1880 at the Leicestershire and Rutland Asylum, age 63.

It describes her as a wife or widow of Perkins, no first name, a schoolmaster??
