I was born in Maryhill, Elgin (the Cathedral town of old) which is situated in the county of Moray, NE Scotland. It's known as the centre of the garden of Moray. A market town with Whisky distilling, brewing, flour milling etc., and the ruins of a 13th century cathedral known as 'The Lanthorn of the North', which was founded in 1224 by Andrew, Bishop of Moray. My father Phillip Geoffrey Perry, a native of Lancashire, England was a Chief Petty Officer on board H.M.S. Bulwark in the Royal Navy and then later a campaigner for A.A. and a Merchant Seaman. My mother Louise Alma Ford, a Banffshire born Nurse (who worked at Turner Memorial Hos., Keith and later at Dr. Gray's, Elgin) and eldest child of Marchman and former Quarry Worker Richard Francis Ford who hailed from Aberdeenshire. The Scottish side of the family came from Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, Moray and Nairnshire, with a few scattered here and there. My Cornish roots start with my Great+4 Grandfather Richard Henry Cossentine who was a Seaman/Ship Captain born in Lanteglos-By-Fowey. His family stretch as far back as the early 16th century with Old John Cossentyne of Heye. I'm also descended from Polruan Shipbuilder Nicholas Butson.
