there's dozens of candidates in 1901.

if his DOB came from a death certificate you would have to factor in an error on the part of the informant.
Did he later marry/die  in Castleford, or does that geography relate to another member of his family?

How about the John perry b 1892 Durham, a grandson in normanton 1901?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

John was 73 when he died in 1965 in Hemsworth reg district which means his birth year could have been between March 1891 - March 1892 dependant on the month he was born

If you know who he married - a copy of his marriage cert will at least give you his fathers name which may help to trace him on the 1901 census

Did he have any siblings that you know of - names and ages may help trace the right 1901 entry

The 1901 PRO index has a John Perry aged 9 b America living in Hunslet but I can't find him on Ancestry 1901

john perry had  a wife called Isabella maiden name unknown he had 3 sons Stanley, john DOB 1914,and, George who died of war wounds in 1946, DOB 1921 i wonder if i send for the birth cert for john Jr his fathers full name would be on it failing that i am scratching my head again thank you all your help is most appreciated

Hi

You would get more information by getting his marriage cert but you may have to buy one of his childrens birth cert to find Isabella's maiden name

I have checked the full GRO index for 1914 and there is no Stanley Perry b Yorkshire
