Hi Margaret,
Thank you for the Peter and Jane reply. Will look at this

I'd be interested in all the details, however, as it might help confirm Peter and Jane as parents for:
John PERRY, b. 1826c. Stockport, Cheshire.
(I only have access to the 1881 census at the moment).
John came back to Stockport in 1863c. (based on birth of his children) and was at:
1871: 8, Stringer Street, Stockport, and then in
1881: 58, Union Street, Stockport,
1891: 38, Nelson Street, Stockport, (Mary and three of the children)
1901: Grimshaw Street, Stockport, (Mary and three of the children)
Maybe Peter, Jane, Joseph, Samuel, Peter or Debra lived close by...
When I had access to ancestry, there were three or so other John PERRY b. 1826/7 listings in Handforth Cum Bosden...so trying to determine which listing is John's...
On the 1841 there is this family:
Joseph PERRY, 55, Silk Weaver
Mary, 55
Ann, 35
William, 20
John, age 15
Hannah
Possibly this family was in Bredbury in 1851, which is closer to Stockport (I think), and "distant relations"... "a Mr. and Mrs. LOWE, b. 1890c., with a daughter Marjorie" used to visit from there...also trying to identify this family eventually...
Mary, b. 1828c. Hull...looking to identify on the 1841 census, aged around 12, married in Sculcoates, Mary All Saints in 1847...so most likely would have lived close by...but it is tricky to determine who she is...
Thank you once again for the information.
Regards, Lesley
