I need your valued help with this one please. I have the marriage of John PERRETT to Ann MASTERS on 7 August 1820 in St. Martin's Parish Salisbury. No ages are given for the bride or groom, just "over 21".
John says he was "of Fonthill Bishop" but having searched the records and not found a baptism for him there, it seems likely he was simply living (and working?) there at the time of his marriage.
Ann says she was "of this parish" - meaning St. Martin's.
3 of the children of John and Ann were baptised in Fonthill Gifford and 1 in St Martin's Parish (1821, 1823, 1825, 1830)
Can anyone help me find where John Perrett was born please?
Many thanks

If you are still having trouble finding the birthplace of your ancestor try searching in Erlestoke and Potterne. There were some Perrett families in those villages. I have a (so far unconfirmed) link to Perretts in these areas. Chirp
