Perkins and Pickard names |

5 Gts.Grandfather |
|
|
| Born: |
Mid-1700s |
|

Possibly 26 April 1747 at
Barston, Nr Coventry. |
|
|
| Parents: |
Possibly Abraham and Jane
Perkins |
|
|
| Marriage: |
He probably married Ann
HUDSON at Allesley on 6 Nov 1774. *** (see below) |

2. Jane 1777 .. Berkswell |

3. Lucy 1780 ... Berkswell.
Lucy married William PICKARD at St Michael's, Coventry on 30 Apr 1799. |
| |
4. William 1784 ... Berkswell .
William died 7 weeks after he was baptised. |
|
Query: It is probable that Ann
also had a daughter Elizabeth Johnson Perkins who was baptised on 21 May 1775
at Allesley. |
| Death of Wife: |
|
|
|
| General: |
There were several PERKINS
families in Berkswell at that time. Berkswell and Barston are adjoining, and
Allesley is quite close. There were 4 possibilities for William's marriage, 3
being in the nearby City of Coventry (6 miles from Berkswell) and 1 being in
the adjacent Parish of Allesley). As the baptisms of William's children were
all at Berkswell I think the Allesley marriage is most likely. |

James was an Ostler between

James and Mary's first child,

They had 2 more children in Dunchurch. About 1820 they moved to Foleshill,
Coventry. James was a Publican between 1821-1835 in Foleshill, running the
Prince William Henry Public House on the main Foleshill Road. They had 8 more
children.
In 1841 James was in Coventry Gaol (reason not known) and Mary
was a coal dealer at Well Street in central Coventry with the children. By 1851
James was back with the family, now in Cook Street, Coventry and described as a
Brewer.
It is believed he died about 1858.
* The 2nd christian
name of Reading is interesting. So far no reason for this has been found
although there was a Reading family living very close to Dunchurch at the
