Janet Wilhelmina was the daughter of Werner Cathrey and Jane Janette Hoseason. They were married in Calcutta in 1863.
General Sir Aeneas Perkins had a distinguished military career, serving in Indian Army from 1854 to 1891, seeing action during the Indian Mutiny. He took part in the Bhutan exhibition and served in Afghanistan, taking part in the march to Kandahar and the subsequent battle in 1880. His commanding officer praised Aeneas Perkins as 'a talented and indefatigable officer' but a fellow officer described him as ‘about the worst tempered fellow I know’ and considered his departure from India to be ‘the third relief of Lucknow’.
