Thread: John Perkins 1841 and 1851

Hello, I wonder if some kind soul can lend a pair of eyes?!

I have found John Perkins on censuses from 1861 to 1901. I can't seem to find a 'match' for him on the 1841 or 1851 census (prior to his marriage)

Info from 1861:
DOB 1821, Place of birth: Rumny, Monmouthshire

Info from 1871:
DOb 1822, Place of birth: Glamorganshire

Info from 1881:
DOB 1818, Place of birth: Glamorganshire

Info from 1891:
DOB 1842 (!! His 1st child was born c. 1854!), Place of birth: Rumney, Monmouthshire

Info from 1901:
DOB 1818, Place of birth: Rhymney, Glamorganshire

He was a collier all his life, and his marriage certificate states his father was John Perkins and that he was born in 1821.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Many Thanks,

Mrsp

Hello mrsp2008

Can you give us the census references, I think Rhymney is near Tredegar and Rumney Cwbran!

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies! Kptz, I'm afraid 1851 census doesn't fit as he didn't marry until 1853. He was a bachelor when he married. They married in Ystradgynlais parish church and witnesses were George Harries and Mary Nicholas.

Elsabels, I don't know how to find the census references. All I've got is

1861-RG9/4088 page 2
1871- RG10/5433 page 26
1881-RG11/5343 page 10
1891-RG12/4463 page 32
1901- RG13/5058

Many Thanks again,

MrsP
