Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Perkins Buried Leek Wootton 1794
« on: Thursday 14 October 10 21:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi Wintercm
It is fascinating to find all these relatives around.
I am a descendant of Joseph Perkins and Elizabeth Pannell. Joseph was the son of Thomas b.1764 (also your ancestor). I will have to investigate the Coventry link. It would be interesting to know how far down the Perkins line you go from there. My father says that there is a supposed to be plaque in Coventry Cathedral - something to do with a donation by one of the Perkins family.
I have a picture of the grave of James Perkins b.1770 and others at Leek Wooton. Not sure if you have contact details for the Australian sisters or if the would be interested in a copy.

I think Samuel was the oldest child and he was the miller at Blackdown Mill. The birth date would fit. Thanks for the lead.

The record showing 'Jan 25th 1794 Thomas son of James & Catherine Perkins' is in the burials section of the Leek Wooton parish record. It is possible, I suppose that the record has been put in the wrong part.
Spooky that the curate who entered it was a Thomas Clarke (my sons name)!

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Perkins Buried Leek Wootton 1794
« on: Monday 26 July 10 12:01 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find some more information about a miller at the Saxon Mill, Guys Cliff 1782.
So far, from the Parish Records, I know he was buried at Leek Wootton 25th Jan 1794. His parents are noted as James and Catherine Perkins. There is no age recorded
The Baptism records for Leek Wootton show he had several children with Martha:
Martha, Aug 1757
Joseph, Sept 1759
John, Mar 1762
Thomas, Mar 1764
Mary, Dec 1766
James, Nov 1770

From a will record, There was a Samuel and William who were also his children.

I have not been able to find any marriage for Thomas and Martha or baptisms for Samuel or William.

Would anyone have any further information about Thomas or how I would go about tracing where he came from?

I know it has been a long time since this post, but in case you haven't found the information yet:

I have been looking at the Perkins family and have had information that links in with yours.

If you look up Thomas Perkins b. ABT 1764 d. 25 Dec 1829 Towcester in the family tree section on the following link

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~towcesterfamilies/

It shows he married twice. First to Sarah Flesher where your lineage descend and second to Sarah Steward where my lineage descend.
He was born in Leek Wootton, Warwickshire where I have found, in the PR, his father to be another Thomas Perkins who died in Leek Wootton 1794. The record details his parents as James and Catherine Perkins

Further information can be found in my post at the link below:

If I find anything else I shall let you know unless you have got any further already!

Regards
Mike

Firstly thanks for all the information.
Yes, this is the correct Perkins family. I have been trying to link them to the Saxon Mill (Guys Cliff) to prove a family story.
All the information provided is pointing to prove it to be true. Thomas Perkins was the miller in 1782.
Joseph b.1806 Towcester seems to be the son of his son Thomas b.1764 in Leek Wootton.

Valda, it would probably be best to move this to the Northants board as the Surrey section of the family was only brief. Prior to Joseph we head to Warwickshire.

Sandy, I do have the Joseph dying in 1873. Are you the same Sandy that helped me several years ago with the Smith section of my family from Little Harrowden? If so, it's great to meet up again.

I am so impressed with this forum and the information I got from the chatroom at the weekend.
I will have a look at Mary's site when I get some more time.

Brilliant  ;D
