I have a John Perry Dickson born 1901 in Derry to Alexander and Rebecca and the census entry you have appears to be the same. John Perry was a soldier in the Royal Ulster Rifles and served in India and possibly Burma. He married Matilda Gertrude Klaiber in Poona in 1920. Matilda was the sister of my grandmother Margarit Klaiber. It is slightly complicated but I have 'lost' all the other Klaibers! I am trying to find out what happened to Matilda and John and if they had any children. Is this the same family as yours and if so - do you have any information about John and/or Matilda? I would be really grateful if you know anything that might help. Penny Scott
