Title: Thomas Pearson - Ontario
Post by: mazzie74 on Sunday 30 November 25 11:58 GMT (UK)
Hi

Can anybody please find the death details of Thomas Pearson.

He was born in England in 1847, and married Elizabeth Lowes in 1867.

They had a daughter born in England:

Jane Eleanor Pearson (1868-1953) - married Thomas Watson English in Brant, Ontario.

And then more children born in Brant, Ontario:

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Pearson (born 1870) - died (unsure) - married John James Roberts

Priscilla Pearson (1873-1929) - married William Robson Brockbank

Joseph Wilson Pearson (1874-1963) - married Catherine (surname unsure)

Frances Annie Pearson (1879-1952) - married Charles Edward Meggs


Thomas Pearson's wife (Elizabeth Lowes) died in Brant in 1909, and her name appears on Findagrave:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/162771168/elizabeth-pearson

It says "wife of Thomas Pearson" which would suggest he was still alive.

But his death isn't mentioned on the same headstone.

Can anybody find his death please?

Thanks

1901 census Brant indicated that Elizabeth Pearson was divorced.

Obit for Jane English if you haven't seen it

If Elizabeth/Lizzie Pearson/Roberts was mentioned in the obit of sister Jane Pearson/English in 1953 but not in the obit for Joseph Pearson, perhaps this indicates she passed away between 1953 and 1956 ??
