Hi Selina
Ok I think John Perry is the one born in 1703.
I have him as apprentice to Thomas Perry of Newmarket in 1725
Next I find his business advertisement in the book I mentioned earlier in this posting. That book gives a date of 1750 at which point John Perry has his shop at #93 The Strand in London, as cap maker\\\ son of Thomas Perry of Cambridge
Name: John Perry Dates: 1751-1775 Location: London Occupation: merchant commerce(s) Gender: Male Address:

Ancestry gives from 1763 John Perry #88 The Strand and Cap Maker to The Queen (I am not sure if #88 and #93 are the same premises due to a number change
