Hi chaps

Click on my name in my post and send me your personal email address please.

Hi all,

Yes please Ann, if you could that would be very kind of you !!

To be honest I didn't have a lot of information on Barclay Andrew Pearson only his birth details what was on the marriage certificate. I had only been researching Heather Campbell Gray and thought she was dead because her name was on a Roll of Honour board in Ireland.

my mind is boggling now !

Sorry to keep asking for info, but it seem the more I find out the more I need to know!!

Would anyone know if they had any children please ?

Could someone check this for me please. On their Marriage Cert it states that Heather's father was a gentleman, but I can find no mention of this anywhere.

This is indeed a great site - the best

Chaps....If you are still around I have credits left over on Scotlands People...if you want the birth I will send x

I know this will sound silly but, I'm still in shock that you found out everything after I've been trying on and off for over two years.

I'll get on to the scotland people site in the morning and look into the British Newspapers article.


Thank you again

Yes Chaps......just quote the ref index numbers,,,,,,,,,remember these are in Scotland GRO....... and not England GRO.so you will need Scotlandpeople site..the certificates are £12 each incl PP........

Heather was a Wing Officer based in Co Down in 1944,,,,,,

Barclay Andrews then late father Andrew Pearson was Writer to the Signet of Johnston Lawrence Kirk...

Thank you so much Kay, that is marvelous, I've been banging my head against a brick wall for weeks.

If I wanted to order her B/C is the 644/12 0335 the number to quote?

Just read the bottom of the post, how wonderful, you don't know what this means to me!!!

Thank you again

Hi again,

I know it's been two years but I have moved home twice!!!

So I'm starting again.

I am still trying to find some information on WAAF Heather Campbell Pearson who was killed in Ireland during WW2. Her name is listed on a Roll of Honour at St John's Church in Newcastle,Co. Down - I have checked with the church and they have no record of her birth or burial there.

I know her maiden name was Gray and she was born in 1914. She married Barclay Andrew Pearson in Kensington in 1944 at 30yrs old. Her father was Lewis Campbell Gray and on the M/C he is listed as a gentleman. One of the witness' to the marriage is a Ingeborg S Gray.

I am having difficulty tracing her birth & death records, so any help would be appreciated.

With all good wishes

Thank you again, I will update this thread with any information I get.


Best wishes

Also look to see if there is a British Legion in the area, they might help.

Am also a member, have just gone through my last British Legion Magazine and found some letters to the editor asking for help about similar things to what you want.
