If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

It is probably a long shot but I wonder if anyone recalls the name Thomas Perigo. He was baptised in Sydling St Nicholas in 1822. His parents were Richard and Elizabeth Perrigo (spellings vary). They originally came from Kent and were farm workers. If anyone can shed any light on it I would be most grateful and can contact me via this site. Thank you in anticipation.
I am looking for anyone who remembers the surname Pitcher in the are of Sydling St Nicolas. Anne in Brisbane (married to James M Pitcher McDonald)
