Augurio Perera
Juan Bautista Luis Augurio Perera (c.1822 – after 1889), known as Augurio Perera, was a Spanish-born merchant and sportsman based in England, credited alongside his friend Major Harry Gem as the earliest inventor of the game of lawn tennis.〔Rowley, Andrew, "(Gem, Thomas Henry (1819–1881) )", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 10 July 2007〕〔Tyzack, Anna, (The True Home of Tennis ) ''Country Life'', 22 June 2005〕
==Life==
Perera was born in Spain in around 1822.〔Hooper, Kirsty (2013). 'Juan Bautista Luis Augurio PERERA, co-founder of Lawn Tennis', p.6: http://www.kirstyhooper.net/publications/#papers〕 He moved to England with his parents Augurio and Francisca at the age of four, and the family lived in London for ten years, before moving to Birmingham in 1836.〔Hooper, pp.6-8〕 After the rest of the family relocated to Manchester in 1839,〔Hooper, p.8〕 Perera remained in the Midlands, becoming naturalised in 1856,〔Hooper, p.11〕 settling in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham and establishing a successful business importing Spanish merchandise.〔Osman, Arthur "Lawn tennis remembers its founding fathers", ''The Times'', Thursday 10 June 1982〕
A keen rackets player, he was a member with Gem of the Bath Street Racquets Club adjacent to the Racquet Court Inn in Bath Street, Birmingham, about two miles from his home Fairlight at 8 Ampton Road, Edgbaston. It was on the croquet lawn of this house that Perera and Gem were to develop a game that combined elements of both rackets and the Spanish game of pelota between 1859 and 1865,〔"(Lawn Tennis and Major T. H. Gem )" Birmingham Civic Society〕 naming it ''Lawn rackets'', ''Lawn pelota'' or, eventually, ''Lawn tennis''.〔
In 1872 or 1873,〔Hooper, p.14〕 Perera and Gem moved to Leamington Spa and established a club to play their new game on the lawns of the Manor House Hotel, opposite Perera's new home in Avenue Road. Perera left Leamington three years after Gem's death in 1881 and his life after this date is unknown.〔〔(Tennis ) ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' 2007. Accessed 11 July 2007〕
