http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =247719352

father is a William who is the mother?
and who are those 2 witnesses Thomas perks and Elizabeth perks?

So ... we know about Annie PERKS from her marriage enrtry:
b. abt 1873 Quarry Bank, Staffs.
Father: William PERKS - Colliery Manager

1891 - Hawes Lane, Rowley Regis
William Perks Head 41 Colliery Manager b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Eliza Perks Wife 41 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Edward Perks Son 19 Painter - Journeyman b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Annie Perks Daur 17 Dressmaker b. Staffs., Kingswinford
Thomas Perks Son 14 Painter - Journeyman b. Staffs., Kingswinford
Eliza Perks Daur 12 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Florence Perks Daur 8 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Louise Perks Daur 4 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

So, it is possible that the Thomas and Elizabeth PERKS who witnessed the marriage were her brother and sister, Thomas and Eliza.

Next question - What is Eliza, Annie's mother's maiden name?

1881 - 13 Cherry Orchard, Rowley Regis
William Perks Head 33 Coal Miner b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Eliza Perks Wife 30 Chain Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Edward Perks Son 9 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Annie Perks Daur 7 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Thomas Perks Son 4 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Eliza Perks Daur 1 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

Looks like William & Eliza might have married around 1871.

thanks Di will fill it in later unless anyone would like to....please....she begs....

Or maybe 1870.

1871 - Halesowen Road, Rowley Regis
William Perks Head 21 Coal Miner b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Eliza Perks Wife 21 Chain Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

IGI (Extracted)
WILLIAM PERKS
Spouse: ELIZA WILLETTS
Marriage: 05 JUN 1870 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester

( There is also a marriage: WILLIAM PERKES to ELIZABETH WOOLDRIDGE 03 DEC 1871 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester, but this would be too late for them to appear on the 1871 census together.)

So, I'm going for the Eliza WILLETTS marriage - 'sides, it's SO interesting! Another Willetts!!!

Looking for William's parents:

1861 - Cherry Orchard, Rowley Regis
Thos Perks Head 46 Coal Miner b. Worcs., Stourbridge
Ann Perks Wife 46 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Edward Perks Son 20 Coal Minerb. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Elizabeth Perks Daur 18 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Joseph Perks Son 16 Stone Miner b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

William Perks Son 11 Stone Miner b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Mary Perks Daur 9 Scholar b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
