PERKINS, Fanny Jane

   Another name for Fanny was PERKINS, Fanny.

  General Notes:

The 1901 census recorded that Fanny remained living with her parents as a single woman until then, and she presumably continued to do so until her marriage to William Rattray in 1903.

Later the 1911 census recorded her living as Fanny Rattray in Canterbury. She was married, a boarder in the home of a warehouseman called George Lock, and was working as a dressmaker. She was 36 years old. She was the only person called Rattray in the area.

A Fanny J. Perkins died at Bridge, near Canterbury, Kent in the second quarter of 1948. her recorded age at death was 81 years.

Fanny married William RATTRAY, son of William RATTRAY and Esther CHARNLEY, between July and September 1903 in Canterbury, Kent, England. (William RATTRAY was born 4 December 1877 at 1.30 pm in 526 Rutherglen Road, Glasgow, Scotland and died 3 October 1943 at 9.30 am in 35 Netherhill Crescent, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland ¹.). The cause of his death was carcinoma of the rectum.

  Marriage Notes:

In the third quarter of 1903 a William Rattray married Fanny Jane Perkins in Canterbury, Kent, England, where she had been born in the first quarter of 1874 to James and Matilda Perkins, both natives of Kent. James Perkins was a dyer by trade, and Fanny had an older brother Albert and a younger brother Henry.

If William Rattray, who married both Fanny Perkins and Margaret Kain, was this William outlined here, there is no indication as yet about how or why he came to be in Canterbury and how he met Fanny Perkins.
