Talk:William Perry (New Zealand politician)

Two people conflated
There were two men of this name, editors have mixed up the Wellington solicitor with the Wairarapa sheep breeder. The sheep breeder (1863-1956) got his knighthood in the New Year's honours in 1933.

Here's the marriage of the solicitor's parents and the notice of his birth in Goldsborough on the West Coast. He seems to have been his mother's only child (of that marriage). Don't know which source has the right day of birth. The sheep breeder is likely to have been born in the Wairarapa. Eddaido (talk) 06:23, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
