Please does anyone feel like helping me with my query?
Some time ago I featured on this sites WYTYA, with lots of new suggestions for me, but still sadly I could not move forward. Now after checking out GR forums someone commented on using Google books search engine and taking up this suggestion I have uncovered some new ideas.
If you remember I was looking for a George Perry surgeon, who would be the father of my Great Grandfather. Julie (Darksecretz) suggested medical directories, which highlighted those I had already found in census returns. I then spent time trying to eliminate possible fathers. Looking at my Google book returns I wonder if I have been hasty in one of these.
Today I have found out that in 1860 a George Joseph Perry Gent was to be Hon Assistant Surgeon in the 1st Hampshire Mounted Rifles. If you remember, I know that my G.G. Grandfather travelled around the world, India, S.America, so the suggestion was that he could have been a service man. The family story was that he was a ships surgeon. It was then suggested that another George Perry in the Scots fusiliers , may fit. However the time line wasn’t quite right.
This same George J Perry, that I found today, also appears to have joined the Poor Law Medical services, Melksham union in 1860. This may have no baring on things but my G.Grandfather was in the Salvation Army and also did work with the 'poor'. However this is probably a red herring
My request is would someone mind checking George Joseph on the census returns please. I vaguely remember he was in Wales then moved to Hampshire. His wife was Aususta and also had a daughter of the same name. I initially ruled him out as his son George, was born in the 1840’s, whereas from marriage/death/ certificates and census, I believe him to be born between 1851-1854. However other information fits, ie George Perry senior had died by the time George jnr married for the 2nd time in 1881, which fits this man. I believe there was a family dispute that there was a family dispute that was not resolved for many years and post George snr dying.
As is always the way, as I had come to a standstill and not getting anywhere with my family search, thinking to save a little money I cancelled my Ancestry subscription on the 27th July!!!, so I would be most grateful if someone could look at this family and follow the family especially the son George if they have any spare time and see if he disappears circa 1880’s.
Thank you.
I really appreciate any help.
