== Youth and education ==
Frederick Thomas Perris (January 2, 1837 – May 12, 1916)〔LDS Church genealogical records〕 was born in Gloucester, England. At age 12 his parents emigrated to Australia where he was apprenticed to an architect/mechanic. At age 16 he moved again with his mother and sisters, settling in the Mormon colony at San Bernardino, California, where he was employed as the chain boy on the crew that surveyed and subdivided that city.
Four years later, when the colony collapsed the family moved to Utah, where they learned his father, rather than join the Mormons, had sold his assets in Australia, returned to England and died. He proceeded to England to settle his father's estate. During the two years that required, he was employed as an apprentice in the new technology of photography. Returning to America with his 'childhood sweetheart' as his bride, he proceeded to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he attempted, apparently without much success, to sell his wares as a photographer.〔There are two stories in ''The Evening Deseret News'' (microfilm copies in the Marriott Library of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City). July 1862, in a story on entries at the "State Fair" mentions Fred Perris in the photography exhibit, showing his ambrotypes. Again in January 1863, a reporter wrote that an audience in Santaquin was amazed and amused when Brother Perris, using a strong magnifying glass and a lantern, showed an audience his photographs. Utah was a territory at the time. The "State" referred to was the State of Deseret, the name the Mormon settlers wanted but never got.〕
