His mother was Sarah Brook (née Bailey) and his father was her husband, Westby Hawkshaw Percival, an Irish member of the mounted police in Melbourne. In the early 1860s, the family moved to Rangiora in New Zealand, a township {{convert|29|km|mi}} north of Christchurch. He received his early education at Merton's school, where he became friends with William Pember Reeves. In 1867 he won a junior Somes scholarship to Christ's College, Christchurch. At the age of 16, in May 1870, he was received into the Catholic church. He completed his secondary education at Stonyhurst College in England. In 1872, he inherited sufficient land upon his father's death that he had a secure income.[1] He married Jessie Johnston, daughter of John Johnston, in 1880. He was a lawyer in Christchurch.[1] He represented the Christchurch South electorate from the 1887 general election[2] to the end of the parliamentary term in 1890, and then the City of Christchurch electorate from the 1890 general election to September 1891, when he resigned.[4]{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=226}} For the last three months in Parliament, he was Chairman of Committees.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=251}} He was made Agent-General to the United Kingdom from 1891[3] to 1896, and then Agent-General for Tasmania from 1896 to 1898. Perceval was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in the 1894 New Year Honours.[4] He died in Surrey, England in 1928.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=226}} Notes1. ^1 {{DNZB|Rice|Geoffrey W.|2p10|Perceval, Westby Brook|13 January 2012||Geoffrey Rice}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Christchurch South|url= http://www.paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18870927.2.33.2 |accessdate=5 November 2011|newspaper=The Star|page=4 |issue=Issue 6043 |date=27 September 1887}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18910916.2.34 |title=The Agent-General|issue=Issue 7270 |date=16 September 1891|newspaper=The Star |page=3|accessdate=14 March 2010}} 4. ^{{London Gazette |issue=26472|date=2 January 1894 |page=2 }} References{{commons category|Westby Brook Perceval}}
