Hi Peter---Can`t get through on your e-mail address No I don`t think they are connected.Mine originated in Warks in Willey (William and Elizabeth Perkins grandparents of " Ann nee Smith",Monks Kirby and Newbold on Avon.I discovered that John Perkins (wife Ann nee Smith) was the son of a John Perkins and his wife (nee Ann Perkins ) of Newbold on Avon. I hope there wasn`t too much intermarriage ! Thanks for replying anyway.
