Good score Perks,
I wonder if anyone has researched the origins of these Perkins.

I see there is a patron submission on the IGI site where a Henry Perkins was born circa 1795, his mother was Catherine MEYLER/MAYLER.
Unfortunately not much else on this family.
Cheers.

Good find Perks.
Must be a link to the other Perkins families of England eventually.

Yes, this is correct.
Jane Eliza & John had no issue themselves however.

Hi Sally,
I'm descended from Clara's brother Henry John Chapman who came to New Zealand about 1863.
I don't have alot on Clara's descendants, but do have extensive info on the many other branches.
I can be contacted directly at  frogg@igrin.co.nz  I'd love to fill in some gaps.
Cheers.
Milton.

More interesting reading on PERKINS here, but still no mention of HUNTINGDON cuzzies.
Cheers.

Yo Perkins people,
Interesting stuff here relevant to PERKINS name.
Seems they are all related way back, there are families in Wales, Berkshire, & Leicester which must be ancestral to the PERKINS families mentioned in this thread.
I guess the Huntingdon crowd would descend from the Leics. mob, incidentally where there is a great abundance of BINGLEY's.

I haven/t been able to find how the name BINGLEY got into the family.
There are not that many BINGLEY's in Huntingdonshire.

However other names crept into the family that weren't ancestral, eg, godparents, inlaws etc, like EYNON, HIDDLESTONE, WADSWORTH, on the CHAPMAN, side, WARRENDER etc on the WATCHORN side.
Cheers.
Milton.

Hi Gang,

You might be right  there Perks, I didn't realize John Milford (or Melford) PERKINS became a political figure. His Grave shows "Milford" as does the Tassie archives.
Can't find much about him on the internet.

I had a sniff around on the weekend looking for possible family connections for John PERKINS (b1812) eligibility at being a Huntingdon PERKINS, I'm running into doubts, most Johns seem to be accounted for.

Back to Huntingdon again....I think our PERKINS from there did have influencial connections, I seem to recall Bingley being an Esquire, & certainly his daughters married into families with higher class connections....not that I'm into that sort of thing myself....but Eliza's son Henry John CHAPMAN married Sarah Christiana LEADER.....who herself was descended from Royal lineages via Anglo-Irish landed gentry.

The RIGNALLS who Frances PERKINS, (Elijah's sister) married made mention in the Gentlemans magazine from where I found their death dates. Hubby John RIGNALL was a Sexton & Bellman in Godmanchester. It seems some of the immediate family drifted to Godmanchester, where the name & even Elijah himself (in Huntingdon & St Neots) are quite often recorded as PARKINS.

Will keep searching.

Cheers.
Milton
