Hi, Lack of mother's maiden name strongly suggests William was illegitimate.


PERKIN, WILLIAM       - 
GRO Reference: 1868  M Quarter in PENZANCE  Volume 05C  Page 307

Suggest for £2.50 gro digital image will at least name a mother and address.

There's also a baby Grace Perkin (age 0) in the 1871 census, with mum Grace and William. Not seeing a baptism for her yet. Unless she died before being baptised. Mum Grave never got round to baptisms quickly, did she?

ADDED --

As William married Charlotte Couch in 1892 was she his cousin?  ???

there's a possible baptism for Grace in 1907 by which time she is married to George Bryant Stoneman
https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/more-info/?t=baptisms&id=5818413

There's a newspaper marriage notice in 1879 for Grace, daughter of William Perkin, to George Williams and this 1881 census with 3 Perkins children

and 1891 with the child baptised in 1884 & born 1874
