This is David Louis Perrottet death registration ...... I did look on the image, and I'm 98% certain that the name that the trsncriber could not decipher is Louis


Deaths Dec 1851 (>99%)

Perrottet David * Kensington 3 295

and Esther?

Deaths Mar 1861 (>99%)

Perrottet Esther Kensington 1a 47




I looked because I found this 1851 Census ... the occupation confuses me. Would a manufacturer become a Lodging House Keeper???

Curious and curiouser

I cannot find Louis or daughter Mary on the 1861 Census

I have tried using per*ot* and per*tet*

I have tried using forename + birth year +/- 5 + birth place

I have tried using birth year +/- 5 and birth place for Mary (Clare, Suffolk)



BUT I also cannot find the Francis family that the Perrottet's were lodging with on the 1861 either, although I have found William and wife Mary in 1871.

I looked for them because I wondered if Louis had stayed with them after Louisa died or had left Mary with them.


I also tried looking for David Louis Perrottet, or any other members of his family.


They've all taken off in that great alien space ship!

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 5 Mar 2010 07:11

So she died soon after the census was takne ..... March 31 1851



But I still cannot find Mary or Louis in 1861


Nor can I find David Louis, Eliza or Henry Albert in 1851!





I was thinking that Mary could be with one or other of the grandparents.

Thanks Sylvia, you're a wonder.

Look at what I found - looked for deaths for Louisa Julia with no surname between 1851-1863 - found her!!!

Deaths Jun 1851 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perrott_t Louisa Julia Brighton 7 20[09]

So she was hiding all along.

:-)

Still I wonder where young Mary Louisa lived after her mother died and then her father went to Australia in 1853 (if that is him), til she came to Australia too aged 14. What a story.

Thanks for all your help, Sylvia!

I couldn't find her though


There were lots of Perrott .......... about 30 or 40, and I didn't look at each one.



I have to go away for about 10 or 15 minutes ....... I'll have another look when I return!

That's awesome thanks Sylvia! Roy will be thrilled.

Just occured to me - if Mary did not arrive in Victoria until 1862, she should be on the 1861 UK census?

Aha, just found this - appears to be travelling alone (or at least not with anyone by same surname)

PEROTTET MARY 14 NOV 1862 ALFRED B 209 005

Yes that one on the IGI is the one, details confirmed by her marriage cert. (This is for a friend's cousin!) (by the way 14 was her age)

Louis Fredk's parents were Davis Louis Perrottet and Esther Eliza Holbrook. Not sure about the other one. But yes that is definitely the marriage in 1848. It is just that she disappears!
