I've "rescued" three photographs belonging to the PERKS Family of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The first is a photograph of George A. PERKS who was the son of Richard & Eliza PERKS and the half-brother of William Townsend PERKS Sr. The photograph was taken at the P. Edward D. Chillman & Co. Studio in Philadelphia, PA sometime in the 1880's. The second photograph is one of William PERKS Sr. with his wife Mary PERKS and their son William T. PERKS Jr. which was taken at their summer home in Wildwood, NJ. William PERKS Jr. is a toddler at the time the photograph was taken. There are a number of unidentified people in the photograph as well. The final photograph of identified as William "Bill" PERKS at First National Bank of Philadelphia with Mike BORTULIN and Mr. HILDEBRAND. This photograph is of I believe William Jr. and was probably taken in the early 1900's with Bill appearing to be in his 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this PERKS Family: George Amos PERKS was b. 2 Apr 1850 in Kidderminster, England to parents Richard PERKS (1824-1884) and Eliza STARR (1823-1869). George was one of 8 children born to this couple including, Clara Ann; Agnes; George Amos; Letitia; Evalina; Caroline Taylor; Emma Marcella; and Harry Franklin PERKS, all born between 1846 and 1864. After Eliza passed away Richard PERKS remarried Annie MCGRATH (1846-1879) and had four additional children including, Harry T.; William Townsend; Richard Stanley; and Walter Whitman PERKS, all born between 1871 and 1879. George's father remarried a third time after the death of his second wife to Leonettie ELMER (1847-1897) but didn't have additional children. George married Iola H. ISZARD (1855-1911) and together they had a daughter, Emma Sommers PERKS (1877-1877). George died 1 Apr 1888 in Camden, NJ. William Townsend PERKS Sr. was b. 19 May 1873 in Camden, NJ to parents Richard PERKS and Annie MCGRATH and died 20 Mar 1953 in Havertown, PA and is buried in the Arlington Cemetery in Pennsauken, NJ. His wife was Mary Elizabeth BOWNE (1871-1950). They had a son William Townsend PERKS Jr. was b. 5 Apr 1905 in Camden, NJ. Son William Jr. married Clara May GIPE (1909-1999) in 1935 and he died 19 Jul 1992 in Fort Lauderdale, FL and is buried in the Prospect Hill Cemetery in York, PA. I am hoping to locate someone from this PERKS Family so that the photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
