Research Notes

The 1901 census gives "Ballygoney , Tyrone" as birthplace. However there is no such townland. There is Ballygonny, Arboe, County Londonderry which borders Ballynahone (the two townlands are divided by the county border).

The civil births for the children all use the spelling "Pirrie". The 1901 census uses "Perry" and the 1911 uses "Perrie".
