Perry Newfoundland
« on: Tuesday 03 March 15 03:00 GMT (UK) »
Hi I need help!!! My Dad and Grandpa both had Alzheimer's so they couldn't tell me anything about their side family. My GG grandpa was Arthur Taylor who married GG grandma Mary Perry in Vancouver in Oct 1899.On Arthur and Mary's wedding registration it said her parents are from Newfoundland and are Joseph and Mary Perry- it said didn't recall Mary's maiden name. There are so many Joseph Perry's and I don't know middle name. If anyone can help I would be so grateful

Death registration in 1952 BC gives Mary's birth date as 09 Jun 1874 and her full Christian name as Mary Ann.

Do you know if she had any brothers or sisters that would help in tracing her lineage.

added:
from postings on other sites you know that Arthur originated from Gooseberry Island Newfoundland.  Have you checked this area for the Perry family on Newfoundland genealogy sites?

There are a couple of possible sibling deaths in BC to Joseph Perry and Mary Parsons

 - an obituary for Mrs Elizabeth Wells (daughter of Joseph Perry and Mary Parsons according to her death certificate), lists "sister, Mrs. M. Taylor" of Vancouver.
