Frederick George PERRETT

[mckha489]

In 1881 John 61 and Sarah 55 are at Knoyle Down with a granddaughter Rose age 9
And a visitor Frederick Frost age 6 b Middlesex.


I’m wondering if given their ages  that John and Sarah are more likely to be adoptive parents of Frederick Frost who then became Frederick Perrett

I wonder if this birth is worth looking at, not exactly Middlesex, and William

It looks like the soldier Frederick Perrett was indeed a policeman and had been released back from army service by July 1901 when this report was published in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal (20 July 1901):

Could well be. In the army file father John is crossed out with a mark indicating death; and against the mother Sarah's name in faint pencil is written "not relative".

In 1861 John and Sarah etc are at

Schedule 92
Piece:   1322
Folio:   30
Page Number:   16

And John is a Policeman

That is great research Shaun was the last from F.M. P?

[ShaunJ]

You should be able to find the Salisbury newspapers on both F.M.P. and B.N.A.  There is an earlier report from 1900 noting that Constable Perrett had rejoined his regiment.

The parents were James Frederick Frost and wife Emily Jane Puffett (married in West Ham RD in 1873)

Maybe just coincidence but there was a Metropolitan police sergeant named Sampson Dawe Frost (b. 1811) who was married to Ann Elizabeth Perrett (b. 1814). They would be too old to be Frederick's parents but they had a son Edward Henry born 1845.
