Miltown: George Perry FRCSI any info please

[meggylux]

Hi

This is a last chance saloon. Is there anyone who can help me, please.

In both ancestry medical records and Irish Medical Records, there are entries for a George Perry. Miltown. Co. Westmeath c.1858/9.

I have followed all English/Welsh/Scots George Perry medics (or surname variation) but they do not tally with my ancestor, so this George really is my last hope.

Does anyone have any access to records for this area. I note from the website link that a lot of records are as yet unavailable. I have not come across any Irish roots before, so I have no idea where to start.

Thank you. Meggy

Hi Meggy,
I have found your old post regarding George Perry FRCSI. Ireland.   I think he MAY be an ancestor of my husband.   
My husbands gr.grandfather was George Perry born about 1860 in Ireland, possibly Dublin.  I don't have any siblings for him, but on his marriage certificate dated 5/9/1881 at Waterford, to Sarah Emeline Morton,  his father is George Perry with the profession of a medical doctor.  However, it could be a different person to yours.
Have you found more info on George Perry FRCSI?   Do you know who he married and his children?
Regards Jean.

Hi Jeany

Thank you for your contact. I have been unable to link my Geoge to George in Ireland. It sounds like your ancestor is a closer match. It was always going to be a long shot.

My George was born circa 1853, reported to have been in S.America. I only have 2 marriage certs that indicate his father was George Perry, a surgeon.

I have found George Perry, Ireland FRCSI, in medical records but have not found any other details, re marriage etc.

Otherwise our George jnrs do not match. My George's 2nd wife died Mar 1881 and he remarried in the August, to my g.grandmother. His 1st wife remains elusive.

I am sorry I cannot help you further, but I hope you can unlock a clue soon.
