Hi Liz There seem to have been several PERKINS families in the Market Harborough area in the lat C19 and early C20. I don't see any connection between yours and mine who appear to have come from Glooston via Kibworth Beauchamp and Wilbarston, where Martha Ann PERKINS married William SWINGLER from Stoke Albany in 1873 - they were my Great Grandparents. They eventually moved to Little Bowden where they died in 1907 (Martha) and 1918 (William). Happy to exchange details if you wish. All best wishes Peter Peter B Freshwater MA MCLIP FSAScot Edinburgh, Scotland peter@hillfoot.demon.co.uk Researching BRUCE, FOLWELL, FOX, FRESHWATER, PERKINS, SWINGLER (Beds, Leics, Northants) HAUGHAN, JOHNSTONE, RICHARDSON (Annandale, Cumberland, Durham) DOW, FINDLAY, GRAY, JACK(SON), KENNEDY (Angus, Glasgow, Perth)
