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

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? 

[osprey]

there's a possible baptism for Grace in 1907 by which time she is married to George Bryant Stoneman

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
