[kdc650]

I would be grateful for any biographical details on this man :



* Jackson's Oxford Journal, 16 September 1854, page 8.

BUCKINGHAM.

In the evening of the 6th inst., Enos Perth, aged 28, of Wantage, Berks, a travelling musician, who had been at St. Giles's fair, Oxford, was attacked with cholera in the street at Preston-Bissett. He was taken to the Old Hat, and attended assiduously by Mr. Duke, of this town, surgeon. He, however, expired on Saturday night.

Given the different surname - are you still interested in this family?
