thankyou all for sarahs info, does anyone know how i can find out about sarahs background maiden name and any info on her west indies roots, thanks dorothy teresa

..since we appear to be in pedantic mode..It's not Chesselton..nor is it Chelleston....but Chellaston.......and from my Parish Records I don't think William Pearson was born there..or at least he wasn't baptised there...bearing in mind of course that Parish Records give Baptisms, not Births.

Where are they all in 1861?? Can't find 'em in a census.

The question is whether they had any children after 1851, in England. If so, the child's birth certificate would give Sarah's birth surname.


Dorothy Teresa, please do delete your other thread, as asked there. It's already produced duplication of effort. Just click on "My threads" on the left of your screen to find it, click on it, and click Delete in the lower left of the first post.

thankyou re sarah pearson for all your help

ann of green gables many thanks ill go through your info you sent me , re west indies index, thanks again everyone teresa

thanks again to all for your help re: sarah pearson

ann of green gables:
many thanks ill check west indies info you sent
hope you all get this note, not too good on threads,, by, teresa

Teresa -- you're doing fine -- but check for questions! You know things we don't, and we need to know what you know.

I can't find a single one of these people in 1861 or 1871. The daughters may have married by 1861, but I can't find a Jane or Maria in Derbyshire with any place of birth like theirs.

Do you know where they were after 1851?

Do you know whether there were any more children born after 1851?

Which of the childen is your ancestor, and where/when/whom did he/she marry?

Found them in 1881 by William's occupation, Chelsea Pensioner.

William Pearson 70
Sarah Pearson 66
Mary Jane Hewitt 40
Samuel Hewitt 43
Sarah Jane Hewitt 12
Samuel Hewitt 9
Civil parish: Nottingham St Mary
County/Island: Nottinghamshire

Name: Mary Jane Hewitt
[Mary Jane Pearson]
Age: 40
Estimated birth year: abt 1841
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: William Pearson
Mother's Name: Sarah Pearson
>> Where born: Nova Scotia Halifax

If that's accurate, and I suspect it is, unfortunately NS birth records on line don't go back that far:

https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/

Name: Sarah Pearson
Age: 66
Estimated birth year: abt 1815
Relation: Wife
Spouse's name: William Pearson
Gender: Female
Where born: Sucia, West Indies

It does say "Sucia" on the image. I would imagine it's St Lucia.


1861

William Pearson 50
Sarah Pearson 46 - born West Indies, Br Sub
Wallm H Pearson 11 - born West Indies
John Pearson 4

Civil parish: St Mary
Town: Nottingham
County/Island: Nottinghamshire
Registration district: Nottingham

Name: John Pearson
Age: 4
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Relation: Son
Father's Name: William Pearson
Mother's Name: Sarah Pearson
Where born: Nottinghamshire, England


Either of these would match John's age:

Births Sep 1856
Pearson John Edwin Nottingham 7b 195
Births Dec 1856
Pearson John Irwin Nottingham 7b 218


If you know the name of the woman your John Pearson married, you could check his middle name on his marriage record, at FreeBMD:

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

Or maybe you know it?

Once ihs birth is established, his birth certificate will give you Sarah's name.

Oh - Teresa, my email tells me you have sent me a private message, but unfortunately my inbox function here is not working, once again, so I can't read it.

Always always reply in the thread though, not by private message. Most of us really hate having to go somewhere else to find info, and then it just has to be brought back and put in the thread anyway, where it's useful. It's of no use in my inbox!

So just add a message here.


... Ah, it finally worked. Don't fret about the multiple threads, two dozen people a day do it. Now you know -- just do delete the other one.

Just to note, re all of Ann o' GG's Pearson stuff in the West Indies:

Sarah Pearson was a Pearson *by marriage*.

Her Pearson husband was from Derbyshire.

So I doubt that *any* Pearson in the West Indies was at all related to either of them -- other than their own marriage and child(ren)'s birth(s).

In case you can't tell which John is yours, I suspect he's John Edwin. John Irwin married in Nottingham, while John Edwin married in Derby:

Marriages Mar 1875
Coleman Ellen Derby 7b 671
Fox Jane Elizabeth Derby 7b 671
Hudson Joseph Derby 7b 671
> Pearson John Edwin Derby 7b 671

1881

Name: John Edwin Pearson
Age: 24
Estimated birth year: abt 1857

County/Island: Derbyshire

John Edwin Pearson 24
Jane Pearson 24
Ernest E. Pearson 6
Emma Pearson 4
Jane Pearson 2

Teresa, it would be useful to put these family members in a tree here at GR. Two people have William Pearson born 1807 Chellaston/Chelleston in their trees, for example. (Search Trees, the button up top, just look for William Pearson born 1810 +/- 5 years, Derbyshire.)
