Subject: [AUSTRALIA-OBITS] PERRYMAN IN MELBOURNE
Date: Fri, 2 May 2003 08:18:06 +0100


The PERRYMAN FAMILY in Birmingham were involved in the
jewellery trade and my grandfather's brother, Benjamin PERRYMAN was a toolmaker and die sinker.

He was born in June 1874 and married Nellie Whittaker in June 1898. On the 1901 Census they are living at 197 Antrobus Road, Handsworth, Birmingham.

In 1912 he accepted a job in Melborne and emigrated with
Nellie. The company paid him £7 per week from the time he
walked on the boat in England and went round the Cape to
Freemantle - six weeks!!

Does anyone have any information on Benjamin and Nellie and when they died?
