His will dated 5th 1765 and proved at PCC ten days later left everything to Ann Mills of Old Street Square, but does not specify any relationship or status - but she is described in the probate clause as Spinster.

13th July 1765 - Anne Pearee registered a mark as smallworker at Old Street Square. - a very illiterate and altered signature according to Grimwade who speculates, I think correctly, that the surname was Perry. The date agrees well with the probate of Alexander Perry Parkes as does the address. So almost certainly the Ann Mills the spinster mentioned in the will above . She was probably a cousin or niece from Alexander's mother's side of his family , hence the Perry. She may be the Anne Parkes fined for substandard buckles in the 1763-1769 period.

The Poor Rate Books of St Luke, Old Street confirm that Ann Pearee was almost certainly the common law wife, later widow ,of Alexander Perry Parkes. The successor of Mr Parkes at 65, Old Street Square, Old Street Liberty in St Lukes is shown as Widow Parkes.
Thus almost certainly Anne Pearee = Ann Mills = Widow Parkes = Anne Parkes
