The son of John Perchard, mariner of Guernsey, he was born about 1706, and was apprenticed in 1720, after his father's death, to William Paradise, goldsmith of London, his elder brother Matthew, q.v., being already in London. There is no record that he completed his apprenticeship, but he returned to Guernsey, worked there, and died in 1758. Paradise, despite his name, was not a Huguenot refugee, being the son of another William, a woollen-draper of Newbury. However, the family may have been connected with Claude Paradis, goldsmith of Paris, and his son Roland Paradis, 1696-1754, goldsmith of Quebec.
