I have not been able to locate David Perrett’s census record for the year 1871, David’s Probate record suggest that he died in 1875, however, this look’s to an incorrect year of death. As his Wife, Elizabeth Perrett, is recorded as being a Brewers Widow on the 1871 census. It appears that David Perrett’s estate was left to his Wife, to broken up after her death. Indeed her Son James Mason Perrett was the executor.
