I would like to know what information the 1930 united states federal census washington area holds for a John Perrett born c1885.
He emmigrated in 1906 and i have found the ship passage and have his army details. His full name is John Burr Perrett and in the two above mentioned details has occupation butcher

I see there is a John Perrett born c 1885 and is from England listed but i cannot see other details and wondered if someone could kindly have a look for me please

The John mentioned in 1930 was born April 30, 1886, Weston Super Mare, England, father George Perrett. His name was John Lewis Perrett.

Will look in 1930 for your John.

Hi Lisa,

Mine was from Hindon in Wiltshire, his father was also a George Perrett but this one does not look like mine. On his army papers it says my John was born in Dublin Ireland, I'm not sure why he put that as his family definetly come from Wiltshire and I have his birth certificate

Chris

Chris Report 12 Feb 2008 19:12

my johns birth on certificate says 4th november 1885 but on army info says 4th nov 1884

Lisa,

this looks more like it as it mentions butcher.

I will need to do some more investigating.

I am not sure why he gave his birth place as ireland as his birth as John Burr says Hindon

Thank you for all your searching
