PERRY in Bloxwich/Walsall area

Postby pjrich » Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:18 pm

My 4xGt grandmother was Sarah PERRY http://www.gencircles.com/users/pjrich/2/data/2026. She married Simeon EDGE at Aston in 1804.

My working assumption is that she was the daughter of Humphrey PERRY and Susannah SIMPSON whose early children (including Sarah) were baptised in Walsall, but I have chosen to link Sarah to this couple as their later children were baptised in Bloxwich, which would perhaps tie in with Sarah believing Bloxwich to be her birthplace (the 1851 and 1861 censii refer). In later years Humphrey and Susannah lived at Essington - Susannah being there with her eldest son, Humphrey, in 1841.

As I am still looking for proof positive I have not put all the detail on my Gencircles page but it is as follows:

1. Humphrey PERRY was born in 1757 (approx.). He married Susannah SIMPSON on 17 December 1777 in Walsall, Staffordshire.(*1) The address was: St Matthews. By banns, witnesses Joseph CASE, John SMITH. Humphrey died in 1835. He was buried on 7 March 1835 in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. of Essington.

Susannah SIMPSON was born in 1753 (approx.). She died in 1843. She was buried on 4 March 1843 in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. of Essington. She and Humphrey PERRY had the following children:

2 Sarah PERRY (1778?-aft1861). Sarah was born in 1778 (approx.) in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. She was christened on 28 September 1778 in Walsall, Staffordshire. The address was: St Matthew. She married Simeon EDGE on 13 November 1804 in Aston Juxta Birmingham, Warwickshire.(*2) The address was: St Peter & Paul. Both OTP, witnesses William DACE, Martha JONES. Sarah died after 7 April 1861. Not GRO 1861Q3 Aston, Warwickshire 6d/159.
3 Humphrey PERRY (1781?-aft1851). Humphrey was born in 1781 (approx.) in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. He was christened on 1 May 1781 in Walsall, Staffordshire. The address was: St Matthew's. He was an Awl blade maker. He died after 30 March 1851.
4 Elizabeth PERRY (1784?- ). Elizabeth was born in 1784 (approx.). She was christened on 12 April 1784 in Bloxwich, Staffordshire.
5 James PERRY (1786?-aft1851). James was born in 1786 (approx.) in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. He was christened on 23 January 1786 in Bloxwich, Staffordshire. He was a Locksmith. He died after 30 March 1851.


Another possible Sarah I have been looking at is the daughter of Richard PERRY and Rachell DIXSON (married 17 May 1770, Walsall St Matthew) - this Sarah baptised 5 June 1775.

A third Sarah was baptised in 1781 - daughter of Edward and Catherine.
