Hi,
I am trying to find my Grandmother's Birth Record.
Alice Elizabeth PEARSON b. 19 January 1892 Glapwell, Derbyshire
to a Frederick William Pearson and Alice (nee March).
Also it would be great if someone could check the 1901 Census for Chesterfield area for the above family. Or perhaps parents show in derbyshire for 1891 census.
I believe Alice was the eldest of 7 children. (approx 9 yrs in 1901)
Alice was the bride of a WWI Australian soldier, married in Southall England in 1918 and came out to Australia with her husband in 1919. I have her marriage cert. It only gives detail of father's name.
I have been searching for my grandmother's family for over 25 yrs without success, I am hoping that this posted message will help me find the information.
Regards
Caron

Hi Caron
I have found a possibility for them in 1901 - which if it is right would explain why you can't find a birth registration for Alice born in Derbyshire - it was the only family I could find that looked anything like possible
from 1901 - Staveley Derbyshire
Fred W Pearson head iron turner & fitter born 1870 Staveley Derbyshire
Alice Pearson wife born 1870 Boston Lincolnshire
Alice Pearson daughter born 1892 Hull Yorkshire
Fred W Pearson son born 1894 Staveley Derbyshire
Laura Pearson daughter born 1897 Staveley, Derbyshire, England Daughter
George Pearson son born 1900 Staveley Derbyshire
John Pearson uncle - gen labourer born 1841 Staveley Derbyshire
I have also found a possible marriage for Frederick & Alice in 1891 - but the surname is not March - can I ask where you got that info from? :-\

Thank you ladies so very very much, I could kiss the ground you walk on. ;D
For many years we believed Alice was born in Hull, Yorkshire however, when I could not find her birth there, I searched for information from different sources e.g medical records that had been archived for 30 yrs.
Debbie, this would very well be her family :) in Derbyshire. :D thank you.
The mother's name was on a medical record (perhaps the doctor spelt it incorrectly) she could very well be the Alice Marsh married in 1891, especially as you say Suz, the address is very close to where a Fred W & Family were living in 1891. Thank you so much too.
I got shivers as I read this information. I have researched many of my ancestors back to 1700's in England but with my own grandmother I could'nt even find her own family, I was so disheartened for many years. I only as recently as last week (being 30 yrs since Alice's death) obtained the medical records which helped with Derbyshire and her being the eldest child of 7, being great leads.
I can't thank you enough for your help, Debbie and Suz,
I am in Australia and if there is anything I can do to help with your research ladies, I would be more than happy to help anyway I can, just message me.
Kind Regards
Caron ;D
