Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

martyndyer1 — 2009-06-03 17:53:58Z

Jim,

It does look like that is a good possibility of a match.

No I am not (directly) related to John and Elizabeth PERRING, but my family does come from Devon, so it is possible that if I could search way way back there is a link. Nicholas Timothy PERING from Ugborough, Devon was my great great uncle.

The spelling of the surname varies PERRING or PERING, especially pre 1900.

It's all very interesting.

Martyn

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-03 16:48:23Z

Martyn-Thanks again. With your help, I think we have a very solid possibility.

There is a Nicholas PERRING, born abt 1860, the son of John and Elizabeth, living in Dittisham, Devon, England, in the 1861 and 1871 censuses. He is not present in Dittisham in 1881. Dittisham is ~10 km north of Dartmouth, which fits well with the envelope's postmark. Nicholas is shown as 11 months old in 1861. If the census was taken in April 1861, being 11 months old at the time of the census is consistent with a birth in Apr 1860.

The Elizabeth who died in 1905 was probably Nicholas's mother. Elizabeth is shown as 49 years old in 1871, making her 84 years old in 1905 when the envelope (a mourning envelope, indicating a death) was posted.

The 1905 envelope provides a clue to the area where Nicholas was born, and the envelope's posting coincides with the death of his mother.

Are you related to John and Elizabeth PERRING? His siblings were Elizabeth, Robert, John, Mary, Isach, and Susan Ann. Jim

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

martyndyer1 — 2009-06-03 16:01:03Z

Jim,

The registration of births was never 100% back then. There is also the possibilty that all the birth records for 1860 etc have not been fully transcribed yet onto freeBMD. I am a volunteer transcriber and I am currently working on 1939 births.

Another place you can look for further information is www.freecen.org.uk . I think you may be able to find where they were living at time of the 1891 census. I believe that the 1891 census records for Devon have been fully transcribed by the volunteers.

If you are a full member here you should be able to consult all the UK births, deaths & census results. Especially the 1901 UK census and determine where they lived in 1901.

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-03 15:42:27Z

Thanks again Martyn. One of the deaths in Totnes in qtr of Sep 1905 (probably Elizabeth 84) may have prompted the letter being sent. I am stumped regarding the absense of Nicholas's birth. Jim

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

martyndyer1 — 2009-06-03 14:39:45Z

Jim,

I can find no trace of a Nicholas born in the Dartmouth area in Apr 1860. But from www.freebmd.org.uk in 4Q 1905, Totnes district, a Charlotte PERRING died 81 and a John PERRING died 83. If these lived in Dartmouth ... ?

Next, from www.familysearch.org the 1881 census lists

John PERRING, 62, Ag Lab, born in Dittisham, living at Halwell Village. Both places are near Dartmouth

John R. PERRING, 55, Shipwright H M Dockyd, born in Dittisham, living at 10 Hood St, Stoke Damerel (near Plymouth). Did he have a son who became the steamboat engineer?

Charlotte PERRING, 57, born in Dartmouth, living at Hanover Square, Dartmouth

Hope this is of some help.

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-03 13:50:52Z

Martyn-Thanks for your reply. A Nicholas Cridge PERRING, born in England, appears in the 1900 US census for Washington, Kitsap County, Port Blakely and in 1910 and 1920 US census for Washington, Thurston County, Olympia. His birth is shown as Apr 1860 in the 1900 census, and is consistent with his age in the other censuses. His arrival is shown as 1878 in one census and 1880 in 2 others, but I do not find a passenger list for him. He became a US citizen in 1884. He's shown in the censuses as a steamboat engineer, and in the 1889 Olympia directory as chief engineer of the steamer Skagit Chief.

The envelope sent to him from Dartmouth in 1905 is a mourning cover, so it's likely that someone related to Nicholas died in the Dartmouth area in 1905. Nicholas died in Olympia on 17 Jul 1946.

Do you have a record of a Nicholas born in the Dartmouth area in Apr 1860, and/or a PERRING death in 1905? Thanks again for your reply, Jim

Re: Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

martyndyer1 — 2009-06-03 12:51:44Z

That's a very interesting question.

Looking up biths, From http://www.freebmd.org.uk

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
PERRING Nicholas George Newton A. 5b 171 born 1Q 1877
PERING Nicholas Timothy Totnes 5b 193 born 1Q 1862
PERING Nicholas Newton A 5b 154 born 4Q 1888

Nicholas Timothy PERING was my great great uncle and I know that he was born in Ugborough, about 12 miles from Dartmouth. However in the 1901 census he was living in Torquay working as a house painter. He died in 1919 and as far as I know always lived in Devon.

So perhaps Nicholas George PERRING born 1877 is a more likely candidate? Then Nicholas PERING born 1888. Is one of them on a shipping list or USA immigration record?

It is a pity that you do not have the letter, because that might have vital clues to identify the person, especially his age.

All I can suggest is to find someone who can do a full look up on the UK 1901 or 1911 census (unfortunately my suscription has lapsed, so I cannot do this myself) and see if that yields a
Nicholas PERRING or Nicholas PERING living near Dartmouth, Devon.

Regards,
Martyn

Nicholas PERRING England > Olympia, Washington

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-02 10:11:36Z

I recently found an old envelope that Nicholas PERRING of Olympia, Washington received from Dartmouth, Devon, England in 1905. You can see the envelope on www.philgen.org (search on PERRING, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page). I want to determine if Dartmouth is the birthplace of Nicholas PERRING and if this envelope is helpful to someone in their genealogical research. The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using old envelopes and postcards in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

Nicholas Perring or Pering born c1808 in South Brent, Devon

martyndyer1 — 2009-04-14 23:29:51Z

I am having problems getting accurate information concerning the marriage of Nicholas Pering or Perring born c1808 in South Brent, Devon died c1880.

I know he married a lady called Ann, and have found 2 possibilities.
The first is Ann Harding Punchard born 1808 Branton (the old name for Braunton), Devon.
The second is Ann Peeke born 1810 Cornworthy, Devon. Father: Thomas Peeke. Mother: Eleanor Jackson.

They must have married c1830, possibly around South Brent or Blackawton, but being pre 1837 I can find no information.

Re: Robert Perring m.1815 Jane Eliza Marshall (Portsea, Hampshire)

Yes! we are both on the same track. Rev.Charles Augustus believe it or not married Frances sister of the Rev.Henry Forster Welch who was married to Mary Dovaston Humphreys who was my great grandmother - big scandal! as Mary left him to run away with Edwin Arthur Perring and my grandfather was the result of this affair! Please contact me on my Email ruthnewby@realemail.co.uk as there is so much info I can give you and would love to compare our research. Sorry I cannot tell you much about Robert as although I did trace some relatives they have either since died or lost interest unfortunately. Did you know Charles Augustus married twice? I found this out on the 1901 Census recently.Thanks for Robert's date of birthand death another bit to add to my vast tree. I have a letter written by Eliza would you like a copy?

Re: Robert Perring m.1815 Jane Eliza Marshall (Portsea, Hampshire)

Thanks for the reply. He sounds like the Robert I'm investigating. I didn't know Jane Eliza wrote children's books! Do you know if any were published? One of Robert's other sons, Charles Augustus is my Great-great-great Grandfather. Since first posting I have found out more info on Robert. I believe he was christened on Aug 26th 1787 in West Alvington, son of Robert Perring and Elizabeth (nee Scoble). Died in Carlisle on October 4th, 1869. I also have quite a bit of other Perring info...

Re: Jane b.1852 South Huish [Malborough] Devon, England

2006-11-15 22:20:49Z

Hi
My Jane was born 1852 at South Huish [Malborough] Devon, England, to Thomas James Perring and Susannah Lamble. Thomas was also from Malborough and Susannah from Portlemouth.
Thomas's Parents and Thomas himself all had very large families [approx 12 children each] As I haven't been researching them that long, I don't know much about them yet, I have just got a list of names for them.
I vaguely remember seeing something about Dittisham but I cannot remember where at the moment. But it's not that far away from here so there is probably a connection somewhere.
Just a titbit for you Richard Perring[b1892] [supposed to be a 2nd cousin to my Father].married Lilian [Kitt] Cole[b.1891],They moved to Australia in the early 1900's. I have little bits of info on them.

Although I do have information on her decendants [from my G.G.Grandfather down] and also some of her ancestors. Let me know what you think.
Have you any other Perring names and dates at all, because I have various bits that I have collected along the way, and would be happy to help if I can.

Our Susan Ann Perring married Francis Durrant Kerridge 1864 and lived at Wentworth NSW. Marriage cert gives her parents as Peter and Jane Perring (maiden name undecipherable but like Coombs) - he farmer or gardener. Susan born Devon.

Susan Kerridge registered death NSW 1939 at Wentworth and gives her father as Peter. Believe I've located a sister Mary and possible brother also in Australia.

I have details of her 4 sons and the next generations if of interest.

Mrs. Anna Perring born abt 1800 in Ilminster,Somerset, England

terrylwharton4 — 2007-03-07 20:28:30Z

She is perhaps mother of Mrs. Emily Gray, age 24 in 1861 Chertsey, Surrey, England census and also perhaps mother of Henry Paring?sp., age 36, in 1871 census of St. Pancras, London, England. Anna Perring, age 62, is listed in 1861 census of Chertsey, Surrey,England, living with family of George Gray. I am trying to determine if Anna, Emily and Henry are related to the Phineas England (surname) family of Chard, Somerset. Would like to hear from anyone researching or familiar with these Perring folks. It IS possible that my interpretation of the two censuses has created a relationship which does not, indeed, exist between Anna-Emily-Henry. Thank you.

She married John Patrick Dillon a Tailor/Journeyman from Cork Ireland around 1908 I don,t know the exact date as I was only twelve when she died back in the fifties. I am hoping that there might be a connection as she to came from Devon/Cornwall area. As I now live in Australia and have only one living sibling you can understand why I want to find out more about my mothers side of the family. Hope this is of some use Su James
