Hi The only Perrie I can find is the said William Perrie who was executed on 18th October 1838 for the murder of his wife Mary Mitchell. The book only lists information such as crimes etc and nothing to do with family unless the victim. 'October 18th 1838 - William Perrie - Paisley. A 38 year old tobacco spinner, and native of Glasgow, Perrie was hanged for murdering Mary Mitchell, his wife of 8 months in a fit of jealousy. His first wife had died two years before.' |

Hi, I have recently bought this book and willing to check details for anyone who posts. Please be patient as may take time to reply but aim to reply to requests within 48 hours. Book is very helpful. Lists criminals names, crimes, places and dates of executions. Gives description of the court proceedings, places of execution and also details on the actual executioners. Kathryn |
