Question
me and my husband are wondering if we can breed 1 male persianwith 2 female persians the females from the same bunch of kittens and the male brought from a different set of kittens not related thankyou

Answer
It is the best way to start with unrelated cats.  You do need to make sure that they are registered on the active register, i.e. marked for breeding, though it may be more likely it is marked 'Not for breeding'.   If not you will need to check with their breeder as there may be some very good reason why they have been marked not for breeding.  Otherwise yes, there is no reason why you shouldn't.  

If this is your first foray into breeding you may wish to consider joining a Breeders group and there is an excellent one at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NoviceBreederAdvice where advice is given freely by breeders with experience spanning up to 30 years or more.
