Somerset / Re: Florence PERKINS 1890

My other problem with them is that they were not very good at spelling, arithmetic or geography. People do not automatically know when or where they were born - they can only repeat what they were told , or even what they thought they heard. Hence Lincoln and Lyncombe.

If Susan had been married for 32 or 34 years on the 1911 census, it is likely she had been married before living with Samuel - would explain things if they didn't get married. If Samuel was an army pensioner, would a wife and child AFTER his discharge, be recorded on pension records?

Re DNA links:  I have a second cousin and six 3rd cousins from Samuel's siblings. Plus eleven 4th cousins from his mother's side.

Re Samuel's DoB, Susan's age and his were transposed on the 1901 census. He was invalided out of the army in 1876 with heart problems from rheumatic fever - via Netley Hospital - and died from it in 1907. I don't think he was ever fit enough to work.

Re "Perkins": this may have been his "wife's" name . I have looked for 10 years off and on for all Florences born in somerset and South Wales and three other children who died but can't link them together.

Thanks for trying.

Samuel, Susan and Florence are in Hazelwood Rd Walthamstow in 1901. They moved to Southampton early 1900's so by 1911, Samuel has died (1907), Florence is married to my granddad Charles Willoughby, and Susan (Perkins) is living with them.

Re searching for MMN - where can I do this in 1889 without her registered name?

Yes - that is the family. I think he was in the Glamorgan Workhouse in 1886.

16 years on and still searching. HOWEVER I've been searching for the wrong names.  DNA links have shown my gt granddad was born Samuel Jukes in 1856 at North Cheriton. He is on the 1891 census in south wales with wife Susan and my grandma Florence. He got into trouble with the law and they started using the name "Perkins" - appearing on the 1901 census in Walthamstow before moving to Southampton about 1903/4 to be near to brother Joseph. Susan's place of birth is recorded as "Lincoln" in 1901 & 1911 but "Somerset" in 1891 so it is more likely that it was "Lyncombe".

Whether Susan's maiden name was Perkins, I don't know. I still can't find a likely marriage, nor a birth registration for Florence Maud born 26th July 1889 according to the 1939 register.

Hi Trish - don't know about Hinton Wood ROAD but at the south end of Hinton Wood AVENUE, just before it joins the A337 Lymington Rd, is St Mark's parish church - complete with churchyard.

Have a look on google maps and street view.

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Frank Glasbey - Beaulieu 1845
« on: Saturday 19 July 14 11:40 BST (UK)  »
I asked a cousin who lives locally to have a look at the microfiches of the Beaulieu records at Hythe library. He confirmed Frank was not on the register. Have since bought the HGS CD of baptisms 1842 -1874. No sign of Frank but found a sister in 1842 at Eling which probably confirmed his parentage.

Thanks anyway - job closed.

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Frank Glasbey - Beaulieu 1845
« on: Sunday 13 July 14 00:19 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have (or know where I can acquire ) the baptism record for Frank Glasbey? May have been baptised Francis George. Birth registered in "New Forest" district but likely to have been Beaulieu/Bucklers Hard.

I think he was the one who took the name of Eastman after his mother Eliza married, worked on the construction of Netley Hospital in 1861 and emigrated to the US around 1869.

Thanks - Derek
