Notes: Reportedly had an elder uncle or brother, Robert, who "created a baronet, it is said,on 1st July 1716 with limitation to his brother and the heirs male of his body, but no patent, sign manual or docquet is on record." - Perrett, J. 1984. The College of Arms correspondence. Family Notes 1(4):93-95. Hence this older brother appears to have been fictional.

============
Note: A reported birthdate of 1716 cannot be right, unless he married at age 66 and started having children. More likely, we has born ~1740, which jives better with 1728, the reported birthdate for his father. 1716 is the date when the baronetcy was said to have been created by his uncle.

Elevated to Baronet, from The Perrott Pedigree:
An Ancient Baronetcy (from the London Gazette, Whitehall, June 29th 1911)

"The King has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, bearing date the 21st instant, to confer the dignity of a Baronet of the said United Kingdom upon Colonel Herbert Charles Perrott, CB (commonly known as Sir Herbert Charles Perrott, Baronet), and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, with precedence from the 1st day of July, 1716.

"His Majesty has granted the Letters Patent referred to in the Gazette presumably to regulate a claim to the title which has been fully accepted by the Law Officers of the Crown and by the editors of the peerages, although the patent had apparently not been registered at the College of Arms. The first baronet, Sir James Perrott, who was a descendant of Sir John Perrott, Lord Deputy of Ireland in Elizabeth's reign, received the title for eminent diplomatic
services on July 1st 1716 \endash the day from which, it will be seen, the new Letters Patent are to date as regards precedence. When the title descended to the second baronet, who was in attendance on the Duke of Cumberland at the battle of Culloden, some question as to its use was evidently raised, and a Royal warrant confirming it was obtained and recorded in the Earl Marshal's Book, College of Arms. This warrant, however, was under the sign manual and Privy Seal, not under the Great Seal, which, according to the Gazette, has now been affixed to the Patent."


Obituary, from The Perrott Pedigree:
"Colonel Sir Herbert Charles Perrott, Bart., Knight of Justice of the Order of St John of Jerusalem and Bailiff of Egle, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at his residence in Queen's Gate, from bronchial pneumonia. Sir Herbert, who was the eldest surviving son of the fifth Baronet, was born in 1849, and succeeded his father in 1886. He was a very keen soldier and formally had command of the 3rd Battalion the Buffs (East Kent Regiment), afterwards becoming honorary colonel.

"Sir Herbert will, however, be best remembered for his many years' work on behalf of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. He was an executive officer of the Order from 1875 to 1915, having been assistant secretary from 1875 to 1888, Secretary from 1895 to 1910, and Secretary-General from 1910 to 1915, when the Duke of Connaught, Grand Prior, vacated the office of Bailiff of Egle and promoted Sir H Perrott thereto as a special mark of approval of his services. He became chief secretary of the St John Ambulance Association on its institution in 1877 as a part of the ambulance department of the Order of St John, and he held that office till 1915. Sir Herbert was made a Companion of Honour in the King's Birthday List of June 1918, and the King of the Belgians conferred on him the Cross of Commander of the Order of the Crown for his services to Belgium during the war."

Herbert married Ethel Lucy Hare on 10 Dec 1901 in St Peter's Eaton Square, London. Ethel was born in 1875 in Court Grange, Newton Abbott and died in 1934, at age 59.

Notes: The Times of 6 July 1939

LADY PERROTT
Lady Perrott died on Tuesday at Withypool, Minehead, Somerset. She was Ethel Lucy Hare, daughther of the late Captain Marcus Hare, R.N. A correspondent writes:--

Lady Perrott devoted the unremitting service of a lifetime to a cause with which the name of her husband is very closely associated. Sir Herbert Perrott held high executive office in the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Lady Perrott was appointed the first Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the St. John Ambulance Brigade by King George V and immediately threw herself into the work whih an enthusiasm that never flagged. She reorganized the whole of the nursing service, instituted a more suitable and becoming uniform in place of the heavy black serge dress which was then regulation, and made a personal inspection of every Nursing Division of the Brigade throughout the country in order to satisfy herself of the efficiency of each unit of the organization under her control. The value of the training that was being given to the Nursing Division was fully recognized and in 1911 Lady Perrott was appointed Lady-in-Chief of the Women's County Companies of the Territorial Branch of the Ambulance Department of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Subsequently those County Companies became known as Voluntary Aid Detachments.

At the oubreak of the Great War the national advantage of the excellent training whcih the Nursing Divisions had been receiving became immediately apparent; inasmuch as Lady Perrott was able to send out at once a larage number of members versed in hospital routine and ready to act as probationers to trained nurses in war zones. The despatch of nursing sisters was not, however, the only War-time service in which Lady Perrott was interested. In August, 1914, a Women's Committee of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem had been instituted, of which Lady Perrott was honorary secretary. This committee was responsible for the formation of the St. John Warehouse, where necessities for the relief and comfort of soldier patients were made and despatched. Lady Perrott was a member of the original committee for the organization of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Hospital in France. She was the means of collecting some £17,000 for the support of this hospital. She went to France and worked personally in the hospital and was actually there during the time when the hospital came under enemy fire. In 1915 her services had already proved so valuable that she was decorated with the R.R.C. First Class.

In 1928 the Order of St. John of Jerusalem was by the King's command enlarged by the addition of the rank of Dame Grand Cross, together with the corresponding order of Knight Grand Cross for Knights of the Order. Lady Perrott thereupon was promoted from the previous highest rank of Lady of Justice to become a Dame Grand Cross of the Order.
