Mrs Perch

[delen]

Further to my previous post on MAY PETCH I have now been given more information on this in as much that the woman in question was not Petch as previously thought but known locally as
"Old Mrs Perch".
This information comes from memories of a very old lady (93) who remembers her and indeed the Petch family and she says there is no link???
Despite searching I cannot find anything that could relate to Mrs Perch.
If it is any help the book I referred to was published in 1945, but the research started in 1928, so she could have been interviewed at anytime between those dates.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for any help

Could you please give us some idea of where in Suffolk

Rosie 99
Yes, it is Risby, Suffolk

[rosie99]

Freebmd only has one instance in Suffolk of the surname Perch and that is in 1860

Thanks, apparently she was in service age 13  for - as she says - The Earl - then Baron de Val
in Ebury Street area London. She describes going to London on the train age 13.

This is a poser, will look deeper and see if I can find dates.

Thanks for your help.
