I am trying, unsuccessfully so far, to find a marriage record for Alice Amos, who married (William, possibly) Perkins in Oxfordshire/North Hants/Bucks etc between 1795 and 1810 approximately. Death certificate for their son George Perkins (d.1887 in NZ) states mother's maiden name as Alice Amos, but doesn't record his father's name. George was christened in Bloxham, Ox, and lived and apparently married in Milcombe (just down the road SW of Banbury), to Sarah Eden around 1846 (I also don't have an exact date for that marriage if anyone can help there). |

The marriage is easily found on FreeBMD in 1846 and using those details you can order the cert |

Cheers, not so concerned about that one, as about the Amos connection, as it has been a dead-end for some time, but having confirmed George's mother's maiden name, I'd like to pursue that |

Oops, crossed posts there - thanks for that Glitterbaby, I wonder what the charge was? |

I got the christening record on Family Search, and it shows father as William Perkins, and mother just as Alice - the death cert gave Amos as her surname, but not father's first name |

Looking at the 1841 census it shows Alice as not born in county |

That would fit if she was born in Northamptonshire, does it show the rest of the family? |

1851 just for info |

Thanks for that, it's a different birth than I had found - Family Search also show a Sarah, b.1809, George, b.1818, and William b.1821 - does that fit with the 1841 census record you mentioned? |

On the 1861 census for Alice Perkins there is a daughter Hannah |

Unfortunately I am not a member of Ancestry.com as I can't afford it, although I do have a tree on Mundia, but can't find much to confirm the details I am seeking, hence my request for help on GR,through the good graces of people like yourself. |

I did come across a tree which named the father as Richard, and which had a William and a Daniel born 1820 - I wondered if they could have been twins? I wasn't sure about the father's name, but maybe it could be a candidate, I just looked at my notes from that tree and it showed Alice born Chipping Warden too |

In the 1841 census the enumerators were told to round the ages down for any one over the age of 15 |

Thanks Jax, I was aware of that, it's just that if this is the family, then George born 1818, two brothers around 1820 and then another in 1821 - doesn't leave much time between them does it? ;) |

No it doesn't, but that wasn't that unusual....I have a fair number of twins in my tree, sadly most died as babies but I do have one set born 1832 that survived to adulthood so they could be twins....you just need to find baptisms for them |
