Answer 2

Hey beeabouttown,

I usually provide links to all the Genealogy sites, I see that has been done. I have Perry, in my Ancestry. The Perrys were on Cape Cod at the time of the Revolution in the US. My ancestors went to Nova Scotia to flee persecution from the US Revolutionary Soldiers. Their land was seized. Other Perrys, remained.

Here are some links to those stories. And, here are som Parry family web sites that may help you in your search. There are over 10 pages of hits on the name Parry - you will have some weeding to do, but you should find some contacts interested in the same thing you are.
