Hi Aeroqueen
You might like to check the "Timelines" on the following Belfast history website at http://www.glenravelonline.com/home/page.php?id=8

In 1860's/70's/80's & 90's there are several mentions of Perry's including the following that might be those mentioned in your message.

Jan 1891, Mary Perry, Lizzie Wiggins, Rebecca Kerr & Mary Robinson were charged with being concealed in Victoria Military Barracks with intent to commit a felony.  They were sentenced to two weeks in jail.

Jun 1896, Mary Ann Perry was charged with neglecting her infant child by being drunk with the child in her arms.  She was jailed for 3 months with hard labour.

Sep 1897, Mrs Perry was arrested and charged with the murder of her infant child.  She was too ill to attend court.
An inquest was held into the death of Rose Catherine Perry of Frederick Lane, who was found dead beneath the stupified drunken body of her mother.  The child had died of asphyxia.

Mar 1890, Minnie Perry (could this be short for Margaret?) and Jane Cunningham were charged with pushing ministers attending a funeral on the Falls Road into a hedge.  They were each fined 20 shillings plus costs.

Not the best news to pass on but these and other stories you will find could indicate addresses or other names to help your research.

Best wishes
Gary
O'Brien (Coleraine/Canada/Donaghadee)
Milliken (Belfast and others)

Going through old posts and came across this one.

www.family search lists the marriage of Thomas Perry and Mary Toward as 1861-
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGXD-NMP

Civil registration of births didn't start until 1864 so perhaps the Elizabeth you were searching for was born 1861/1963.

Henrietta's birth is listed here-
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGK4-SG7

James' extracted birth-it's not unusual to find different dates in Bible entries (especially if the details were written in years later)-
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGNN-JR8
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi

It might be worth investigating Ahoghill records. Perry's were a well recorded family there in 1800s. They farmed alongside and inter married with my Bankhead ancestors. And the farm were my previous three or four generations lived passed into the Perry family. I haven't looked for a while, but in the 1980s there were still Ahoghill Perry descendants listed in the phone book. Unfortunately I don't have any records of the particularly family you are researching

Regards

Matt
