Actually small mistake as I don't need ascendants of John Perkin's wife; Lily Broadbent, as I have plenty of information. More interested in the Perkins family as I haven't been able to go further than John Perkins born 1843, my gg grandfather

I am trying to find ascendants of John Perkins (and his wife), born around 1843 I think in Bewdley, Worcestershire. As far as I have been told every generation of this family seems to only had 2 children, one son and one daughter.

John Perkins born around 1843 in Bewdley, Worcs, butcher employer at home and Lily Broadbent 1858 in Leeds, Yorks. They got married before March 1879 in King’s Norton (Vol 6c, page 419). In 1881 they are living in Leamington Priors with John Broadbent Perkins, their son aged 11 months, Frederick Duffil aged 34, butcher and Sarah Smith aged 15, servant/Nurse’s girl They had 2 children:

G2) John Broadbent Perkins born around 1880 in Handsworth, Birmingham. In 1901 he is living with his parents in Leamington Priors and is a Brass founder worker. He got married to Beatrice Bessie Summerton born in Chipping Campden
G3)John Charles Broadbent Perkins 1908 and Kathleen Bessie Blackwell 1907
G3)Beatrice Merle Perkins 1918 and Derek George Foster 1907 (my grandparents)

G2) Dorothy Leslie Perkins born 1887 in Bromsgrove, Worcs and Sidney Knight Morey 1892
G3)Peter John Morey 1923 died during the Second World War
