Lilly,

My thought would be that Perkins is really her middle name. Maybe she
was named for a (fictional) Mary Perkins and the family called her
Perkins instead for some reason. So be receptive to that possibility.
You might want to be looking for a girl with the middle initial of P.

Back then parents named their children for people with their full name,
like if you were going to name a child for me you would name her Anita
Clayton Martin, Clayton being my married name.
