Hi, could I request a Parish look up for the Baptism of John Parrett[Perrett] Census lists PL. Of B. as Bishops Fonthill C/ 1797.
Also, Ann Masters, C/1791 or 6. I have several references concerning her PL. of B,- Donhead St. Mary, - Berwick St. Leonard, - and Berwick St. John,
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
-
Regret I was unable to find the baptisms on the dates and parishes given.
Cheers Dave

Thank-you for your kind attention to my request. I had searched the fiche of the Parish Reg. ordered from Salt Lake FHL. Unfortunately, the years I required were blank. Could you tell me if the Bishop's Transcripts contain the years 1790- 1800?
-
Which parish are you interested in?
-
The Bishop's Transcripts are just fair copies of the Parish Records which were complete (as far as I can tell) for the years and places in question. I rechecked and only came up with a baptism for an Ann Masters in Donhead St Mary 28 May 1772 dau of William and Mary. The rest pulled a blank.
Cheers Dave

Hi Bunty3Black,
You might be intersted in this item I noticed on the Wilts County Council board:
Question Date : Monday 7th January 2008 10:05
Question:Could some one please tell me the Origins of the Perrett Surname in Wilts?
Answer:
The surname comes from a place name – North and South Perrott in neighbouring Somerset. You really need to get hold of a copy of
In Search of the Perretts, by George Perrett, G.E. Perrett, 1983, ISBN 0 9508557 0 7
You may be able to find a secondhand copy on Amazon or e-bay. There is also a Perrett (all spellings of the name) Society who publish a monthly newsletter; the last contact address I had was John P. Perrott, 24 Upper Stonehayes, Great Linford, Milton Keynes, Bucks, MK14 5ER. I think that they also have a web site.
