Hello I am at a loss as to where I might look for my great great aunt Georgie and her husband.
I am told they moved back to Nova Scotia in the late 30 and with them took 3 children 1 daughter and two sons. I am told Georgie died about 1966 in Port Maitland and that Chester may have died 1973 is in Yarmouth. One of the sons Robert E. moved to Ontario and married, not sure where the rest of their children got to. I know all three were born in Mass.

From the Port Maitland Cemetery Burial Records, Bk. 2 p. 194:

July 7/66 Georgina Marie (Robichaud) Perry
Wife of Chester Perry. Daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Peter Robichaud
Born at Salmon River May 7, 1889
Died at Port Maitland July 7 1966, age 77y.
Buried in Lot No. 56 east side of A avenue

Ibid, p. 196:
Nov. 1st/73 Chester Perry, son of James Edward and Eliza (Bethune) Perry.
Born at Port Maitland, July 10, 1889
Died at Yarmouth Regional Hospital
Nov. 1st 1973 age 84 years
Buried in lot No. 56 on east side of A avenue.

Note that the surname should be spelled "Parry." The Perry and Parry families of Yarmouth were two very distinct lineages, but in the earlier years they were careless about the spelling. Most of the ones in the Port Maitland area are properly from the Parry lineage, though you'd never guess it from the spelling! Most of the genuine Perrys settled in Yarmouth and points east (Tusket, Argyle, Barrington and so on.) See Brown's Yarmouth Genealogies p. 527 on for Perry and 541 on for Parry.

(I have both Parry and Bethune in my ancestry, so I am some degree of distant cousin to Chester Edward Perry.)
