Their name is spelled Perny in 1881 they are in Cannock
They have children Edith born Sheffield John Henry born Norton Canes and Arthur Lewis born Burton on Trent
1901 its spelled Powney and they are in Broughton. Lancashire
They really got about didn't they
l'm sorry to cause so much hassle
l think John has his birth year around 1836 on some census
l realised it wasn't census afterwards. My brain isn't working properly (as usual)
