perks

A

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
hi everbody
he one in sefton rd i was wondering if anybody could help me on this one
i am trying to trace one of my mothers cousin or should i say
an aunty perks she would have been born in the 1800,s
and my last known address was she was living in sefton
rd edbaston , or beaumont rd which used to be behind the
plough and harrow hotel these was very large house with
house servants the one with the smaller house
was large corner house in sefton rd
she was a grand mother to the perks family
and i am to beleive she had an adopted grand daughter
living with her to look after her permantly
her name was gainner so she would have been on the cenus as
well they was known to be living here in and around the 1940,s
[ late 40,s]
if any one could spare abit of there valuable time and let
me know any think on this i would really appreciate this one
many thanks best wishes astonian ;;;;

Hi Astonian, the MMN that Icarus gave you means mother's maiden name. So Edith Perks mother was a Hinton before she married.

Good luck on Monday.:)

Astonian I think you will find that Edith A Perks(nee Hinton) was probably the sister of your Bertha and their father was Walter the policeman.

Edith A Hinton married Alfred J Perks.Birmingham,Sept 1912 ref. 6d 149

hi mikejee
many thanks for tracking the perks for me i did not know about my grand mothers family ;ie ; i was told partialy that mom mentioned that the perks was an aunty and when i think backin time when i was a little kid she took me to sefton rd and in the house there was two lady,s and i seen an elderly lady in a whel chair she was doing most of the qeustions to mom ,so know i presume that was my grand mothers sister and my moms aunty and the other lady whom was edith as i have previously asked in time came to our house in lady wood as an insurance collector ,mom had not seen her in donkey years and mom said she was a good dancer and she performed with her mom and her self on stage in years gone bye
any way many thanks for valued time in tracking down for me
i have informed my youngest sister and showed her the documents i have received through your help. my youngest sister is inclined to
beleive that bertha hinton my grand mother had a half brother
would you .or could you when you can spare some of your valued time delve into it and see if there was a half brother to bertha ,
also is it possible could you tell me how old and if any relative to te perks was edith hadley an george hadley whom was living there
at the same time with the perks in 1945 at 18 sefton rd edgbaston
once again mike i really appreciate your valued time and sincerely
thank you for the work you have already done for me
many thanks ,i hope you have an enjoyable day best wishes
