Thirteen deaths occurred on the voyage, and

that fever was still on board.

The transcription for 1861 does say 20 for Martha. There is also a Martha Perry age 12 born Chilcompton general servant in 1861.

Birth registration for Martha Perry 1849 - Clutton - MMN Jefferies.

I think the 2 Martha’s In 1861 are the same. Martha age 20 was listed after Benjamin which usually are in age order, and not unusual to be listed twice in different addresse’s.

Not sure about the 1886 death. There is a John Perry age 71 - married - occ postman - in Midsomer Norton - RD Clutton
Majors Lane in 1881.

Not really having much luck in finding these 2 on the same census year.
