I have a John Burr Perrett b 4/11/1884 who immigrated to Canada in 1906. I have various bits of information but have just seen an entry for John Burr Perrett under th US Social Security Applications index on Ancestry. Is it possible for someone to look up and list all the information as a couple of the bits of data that I can see namely DOB and mothers name do not agree with the information I have . His mothres name was Kezia and dob 04/11/1884. Thankyou

I can't see that record on Ancestry, Chris.

What data can you see? - to enable us to pinpoint it.

EDIT:

found - see below.

I assume this is his immigration record?

I can't see your John with mother Kezia in earlier censuses, Chris.
Did you get his mother's name from his birth cert?
Where was he born?

Is this him? In 1885, not 1884?

Births Dec 1885 (>99%)
Perrett John Burr Tisbury 5a 218



Is that 1906 immigration record for the right person?
It says he's a butcher, and last lived in Hampshire.

Yes the date of birth is correct i have the birth certificate saying Kezia was his mother and he was born in Hindon wiltshire, not sure why he says on various other entries he was born in Dublin Ireland.

Tisbury reg district covers Hindon.

Don't see a birth for him in 1884, though. Only that one in 1885.

George first married Kezia Burr asnd had few children and then weent on to marry Anne hillier.George's children first had Burr in their name and later Hillier

George Perrett his father was a butcher in HGindon, John seems to have lied about a few things !

Yes marriage correct to kezia Burr that is why I wondered why he put his mother as Mary. John is on Canadian census 1920 at Snohomish and 1930 Fresno california

This is Ancestry's garbled version of the 1891 census for John and family.
