Hi all!
In the 1901 Census I have finally found my great grandparents on my mother's side!
Benjamin Perry was 44 and living with his wife Jane Perry in 4 Marshall Bdgs Southwark London, He was a french Polisher and Jane was a Box Maker, at that time she was 40.
At the 1901 Census, my grandfather was 14, his name was Benjamin John Alfred Perry, he had siblings:
F A Perry, sister 11
Jane Perry sister 19
M C Perry brother 1
R M Perry sister 4
If anyone can add any more information on these I would really appreciate it! Thanks all.
