Possible Silverton Marriage

Posted by Malcolm Periam on 3/4/2026, 9:31 am

Hi. I have found a possible marriage for a Robert Perham to a Mary Roach in 1843 said to be in Silverton Devon. I would like to find the name of the groom Robert Perham. If any individual could be researching any of the above, any help would be very much appreciated.

Marriage certificate states Robert Perham, Father George Perham. Robert signed with an "X" so probably could not read or write.

Found them on 1851 census in Guernsey, with children Catherine Selina (Celina on census), and Sarah born England, Sarah Ann reg Chepstow 1849, Robert is 39 a rail labourer. So imagine they moved around a lot.
