Edward Perry (industrialist)

Edward Perry (15 November 1800 – 2 March 1869), was an English tinplate works master and twice Mayor of Wolverhampton.

Perry built up a very successful tin plate works that grew faster and larger than the similar business, Richard Perry & Son, created by his father and brother.

Following his death, his business was absorbed into the other family firm, eventually becoming part of John Marston's Sunbeam works.

He organised a voluntary rate collection to resolve the situation.

[1][2] Perry lived with his wife Sophia at Stonley House, Wolverhampton,[4] then Danes Court, Tettenhall, Staffordshire.
