I have a Mary Pearson d/o John and Mary bn 1781 Whitehaven that married a James Richardson from Newburn and lived in Heworth/Jarrow area in the 18teens.  She had siblings Joseph and John but I don't know what happened to them.

We are researching our links with the family of John and Mary Pearson nee Deavis, and they are all listed in my recent query concerning the Pearson family.  Our John Pearson was born 1800/01 in
Great Strickland Westmorland, and the family had links to Cumberland as they lived at Askham, close by. We dont know as yet who John's parents or siblings were, except a brother Richard, 2 years younger.

Saw your web site Arthur, but it doesn't help me.  There are a lot of Pearsons in Cumbria, probably more than say Smith or Jones!

My Pearson family all hale from Whitehaven and I can trace the line back to Charles Pearson (b1775) who was a boot and shoemaker by trade.  He was married to Anne Gately (b1781).  Is there anyone you know of out there who can take my ancestors back further in time.

Regards

Bill Pearson

We can also trace our Pearson family back to Charles and Ann, so please get in touch if you are interested in sharing family history information

Hi Hayes,

I am sorry but we have lost contact with Bill Pearson and have not found an alternative way of contacting him.

GS Film Number: 001517692 ,  Digital Folder Number: 004420869 ,  Image Number:  00760
The Cumbria link being Thomas:-

+ most other potential leads from that period seem to be Cumberland.
