To expand on the connection to my other recent Perkins threads. William was the brother of Richard who was father of George and Ann, they are the subject of the other threads. |

Only in so far as William is a member of the same Perkins branch that migrated to the Heydour area in the 18th century. |

Hello, I'm looking for thoughts on a scenario concerning William Perkins. He was baptised at Heydour (sometimes appears as Haydor or Haydour) in Lincolnshire 2 Aug 1798. I have 2 marriages for William at Heydour, in 1825 to Mary Grice and 1845 to Ann Weatly. Heydour has hamlets Oasby (Ozeby), Aisby (Azeby) and Kelby around it. A branch of the Perkins family moved there and is found in all of the hamlets at various times. I have only the one William in these locations, at the moment. I have a William Perkins on the 1841 census Oasby aged 40 in the same household is Mary aged 60 (adult ages have been rounded). Come the 1851 census William is listed with Ann and 3 children. I have traced a death for an Ann Perkins aged 64, burial at Heydour Arpil 1845 aged 64, the only Ann Perkins burial there between 1825 and 1845. There is also a baptism of a Mary Grice in late1780 at nearby Aunsby. The marriage to Ann Weatly is in June 1845. There are no baptisms for any children of William and Mary at Heydour. All of the above seem to point to William first marrying a lady somewhat older than he who would have been 45 when they married, and thus perhaps already past childbearing. However, the spanner in the works is that the marriage register for the first marriage includes reference to parental consent, thus implying that the bride was under 21. A further twist is that the oldest child of William and Ann (Elizabeth) was baptised in Heydour in early December 1845, the birth being registered in Q4 1845. I am well aware that the details in marriage registers often contain errors, so maybe that's the problem here. Would appreciate the thoughts of others on this one, before I go down the route of ordering a copy of the death cert for the Mary Perkins in 1845. |
