I have checked on findmypast. Charles Perrett is clearly 875, but the entry for the lady, Overton, looks as if it has been typed up and then amended by hand. It would seem to have been originally 815 but a pen has fiddled with the "1" so it now actually looks like 825. |

the transcription error was on the original compilation of the indices. The index pages on freebmd (not yet transcribed) read Overton 815 & Perrett 875 so the error was the in the original typing |

Took me a while (don't know if I am the only dim one) as I was looking for your father under 'PERRETTAND'! |

I wonder if a 7 has been read as a 1 (or a 1 read as a 7)? That was the first thing that occurred to me - it may have been incorrectly transcribed, or there might have been a mistake in the GRO index. |

Looks like it hasn't been transcribed on Freebmd yet. |

Looking at it on Ancestry your mother is under 815 and your father 875 so it would appear that when it has been transcribed from the written to the typed copy it has been mis-read. |

Free BMD is transcribed up to about 1935, although there are some later records, they are mainly for those names sent in by one-name researchers. |
