No (self) congratulatory outbursts??

Yay. Watkins Perkins.

That much of the story is now QED.

Now, getting back to that lady-in-waiting ... and why Perkins and Brown married in London ...

And why they changed their name?
Not stopping out long,worked my bloomin little botty off today,shovels,concrete mixers and wheelbarrows come into it,so my muscules are screaming,AGAIN.
Just thought Id pop in and leave it for analysis.

You feeling better old girl?has your eye made progress?

Edit...
You were correct as usual with it being the correct one and on the W for Watkins of course.

It is amazingly making progress, just starting yesterday! Starting to be able to see things without fuzz. And I think I'm going to come out of it as nearsighted as I want to be. Since the surgery I haven't been able to read print without glasses (computer monitor is okay for the good eye, but it can't read close up) and it has been giving me the horrors; what if I needed glasses to read forever now? The fear of finding myself somewhere w/o reading glasses and not being able to read gives me the cold sweats.

Why was our Wiltshire Perkins shoemaker in London in 1840? And why did he beetle back to Wiltshire with his London bride?

And but of course, why did he change their name ... without letting his eldest son know. ;)

That was the case with the Hills etc. too -- the eldest seem to have stuck with Hill, the youngers switched to Monck. Something happened, but what? in both cases. Somewhere between 1879 and 1881 (children's births as Perkins and then Watkins), eldest son got with the program. Why??

Im really pleased for you Janey,its good to know its all been worth the trouble of it.

Before I sign off ,what did happen to the 2 eldest sons George 1847 and Charles 1849 born in Cripplegate on the 1851 census.
I dont think that the Charles living in Lambeth as a lodger in 1891 is him as I find him with a mother Ann in 1871.

I have never found a Fred either as per the Tale,maybe he was Anns child and had left home before the 1871 census.
