Hello froggatt and welcome to RootsChat.

You have doubled up on the posts here, I'll ask a moderator to delete one of them. 

The only marriage I can see near St Neots in the timeframe is Elijah PARKINS to Ann DAY on 14 April 1757 at St Mary and St Benedicts Huntingdon.

Thankyou, it didn't give any indication of Ann's parents by any chance.?
Apparently Elijah and Ann moved to St Neots the following year where they had at least one son. Elijah must have remarried afterwards as I have a record of Elizabeth, wife of Elijah dying in 1785. But so far nothing in between.

I'm confused.

Do you have the 1758 child as JOHN Perkins bapt 26 September 1758 Elton, Huntingdonshire?

Trees have this.
If so his Parents were RICHARD/MARY

Thanks.....Elijah's son John Bingley Perkins was bapt 18 October 1758 in St Neots, but I dont have any other children at this stage. Elijah was a Millwright as was John later on. What I need is the other children, plus the death of his wife Ann, and Elijah's mariiage to Elizabeth. They will be in the St Neots parish records (or Eynesbury), as John's children were found there in a previous lookup done several years ago. John also married an Elizabeth about 1790 after his first wife Susannah died, but I don't have this record either. Cheers..

Modified to add:
Another advertisement almost the same, but for only one millwright on Saturday,  June 13, 1789 (and it says "William Parkins"

This William is Elijah's nephew I believe. I have evidence of his father being born in Huntingdon.(Elijah's brother.)
