Yes we think its him! Thanks so much for all the trouble you have both gone to. I am in touch with the grandson of James Parkens and he is so pleased. Good luck with your own trees, you deserve it. Selena

Hi Maureen Had a look at the image and would definately say it was Parkins or Parkens. Hi Selena Saw this at the top and has to have a nose to see if someone had found him yet. Well done to Maureen. Julie PS hope its the right one

Julie thanks. I suspect that he took on uncle's surname for the 1891 and that's why we can't find him. I have had this happen before. I've just got to weed through the aunties and uncles now. Cheers, Selena

Julie thanks for all your help. I'm sorry if I didn't give all the facts. Frances Perkins married William Bateman in 1859. Had son Charles Bateman around 1867 William Bateman died in 1870 Frances Bateman (nee Perkins) marries Charles Bromley 1879 (pending certificate). Charles Bateman on 1881 (mistranscribed as Baleman) with stepfather Charles Bromley and Charles Perkins. Frances Bromley (formerly Bateman, nee Perkins) died in 1880 (pending certificate) Charles Perkins/Parkins was born in 1875 to Sarah Perkins/Parkins. No father. Sarah gave him to her sister Frances Perkins to look after. I am trying to find out what happened to Charles after auntie Frances died. If only they weren't all called Charles! Sorry for long message!

Julie

Julie Report 9 Mar 2007 12:53

Julie

Julie Report 9 Mar 2007 12:39

I looked on BMD and the only marriage for Frances coming up that i could see was to Hugh, see what happens when the M/C comes Julie

Julie

Julie Report 9 Mar 2007 12:36

Julie thanks for that. May I just ask if you were looking for nephews only, or any Charles Perkins of the right age? Thanks again, Selena
