John's / Perry's in Maesteg
« on: Saturday 19 February 11 22:08 GMT (UK) »
Help please - trying to trace Sarah A PERRY (1893), Cecilia Mary PERRY(1897) and John James PERRY(1901), all born in Bermondsey, London to Stephen George B(augh) PERRY and Mary Catherine Perry nee JAMES.  Have them in 1901 census in London.  Mary died 1907 in Maesteg, where the James family originate.  Guessing they came back to Wales when she got sick, and the children ended up with relatives.  I cannot find any of them in 1911.  Cecilia may have married William DIXON.
I believe this is the same Stephen PERRY who remarried in 1926 Alice BLAKE nee REAKES, and died in 1936 - witness on the certificate is J.E. JOHN, (John Evan John), who married ANNIE PERRY in 1914.
Does anyone have any information on Sarah A - who could be Annie Perry / Annie John - so I can make this link definate? Thanks

Hello Liz  :)

The 1914 John/Perry marriage certificate will give Annie's father's name and occupation, and her address to confirm whether it's Stephen. Also does Annie's age on the certificate match the age of Sarah Ann on 1901? There are only 3 children on 1901 census so it seems unlikely that there is another child.

You could try looking up the address on 1911 once you have this, as we are not allowed to provide 1911 census details.

Kind Regards
Morgan

Thanks Morgan,
I have John and Annie's marriage certificate - yes her father is Stephen, and yes she is 20 yrs old, so born 1893/4.  It is MORE than likely that Sarah was later known as Annie - but no-one in the family I have spoken to knows anything about even the existence of an earlier marriage/family of Stephen Perry at all.  He is a widower on his second marriage certificate - so there definitely was one!
I did check the addresses on the marriage certificate in 1911, but neither had any connection.
Thanks for the suggestions - I'm hoping someone has a descendant of John and Annie in their tree somewhere!
Regards
Liz

Hi Liz,
This was posted a very long time ago so not sure if still relevant for you but I am John and Annie's great granddaughter. I have just started our family tree search as we also do not know a lot about Annie and her family after she past away when my Nanna was only 4.
