The marriage of a Thomas Perks born 1842 Shottery Warwickshire to a Susannah Read 1853 - 1932 Bongay Suffolk.
He was married twice before 1st Emma Higgs no dates for that marriege, 2nd Ada Read in 1873 at Bethnal Green .
I think that Ada and Susannah might have been sister's .

I dont think this is the right Emma Higgs , She died in 1871, Thomas & Emma had a son John 1867-1963 Stepeny middlesex.
Yes i did find this thomas perks , but i still cannot find the marriage to Susannah Read.
sharon

Thomas had seven more children
Ellen & Emma, Ralcliff Whitechapel
Thomas, Windsor
William ,New Wiindsor
Elizabeth, Alfred, George, All in Deptford.
It looks like he moved about alot.
Sharon

Hi,
I cannot find his marriage to Susannah Read either.
Regards Vera

Hi, I have been searching without much luck, He is with Susannah on the 1881 census but I can't find a death for Ada between 1873 and 1881 . Have you seen one? Sue

No . all i have is the marriage cert,

Just had a thought I wonder if Thomas had two families going at the same time...what do you think?

Just checked and Susannah states she is a widow!!!!

Regards Vera

He might have , one of the family said that he changed his name to William Jackson when Ada died , but on the census he is still thomas perks.
sharon

I have had alook at my info emma & ellen (ada children) would have been about 13 & 16 years old , and are not down as living with susannah and the another children, and we cannot find a death cert for ada.
sharon

Will see what I can find ...or not...as the case may be :-)
