Information from the censuses

In 1911 Arthur Edward Perry’s parents and brother were living in four rooms at 45 Edithna Street, Stockwell. (I could not find Arthur Edward Perry on this census; the 1901 census shows him working, aged 14, as an errand boy.) William James Perry, 57, was a coach painter born in Lambeth; Selina Perry, 62, was from Bothamsall, Nottinghamshire. They had had six children; three survived: Arthur Edward; William John Perry, 36, a poulterer born in Lambeth; one other (name unknown).
