Hi
  I eventually got back to look for more information on Charlotte Louisa and did a search on familysearch with the following results :

I'm fairly sure it shows her death in 1917.
I then looked up London BMD for Pearson births in the year 1884 and a few possible names turned up using family names.
  Q/E Sept
Edward George  July 1884   Bethnal Green

Samuel                               Marylebone
 Q/E  Dec
 George            Oct  1884    Poplar     
This is simply speculation . It would be very interesting to trace the actual birth in 1884 and the other likely previous birth/births indicated in the original document.
If one could access the information in the registration office it might throw up further information. I can't get any further information from here and I was wondering if you have any way of following it up.
Wouldn't it be fascinating if there are cousins that we are not aware of. 
    Regards

Hi Trev
Thanks for your reply and the fascinating story of your family history.
As regards Edward my granduncle I had very little information to start with. After quite a bit of researching online I now have a fairly good account of his life.
He was born on a small farm in Clones ,Co. Fermanagh, Ireland in 1854. He joined the Royal Irish Constabularly in 1872. He was recruited from there to join the British Army with the Life Guards  in 1876.. He served in the Life Guards for 8 years and took part in a campaign in Egypt and South Africa. He then enlisted in the 1st Mounted Rifles of Methuens Horse in Bechuanaland for a year or more c 1885/86. In 1888 he moved to New york/New Jersey. He worked as a coachman to a wealthy gent until he enlisted in the Fighting 69th NY to fight in the Spanish/American war in the late 1890s. On his return he worked in The Tombs prison in New York. He retired and returned to his home in Ireland in 1922 where he lived until he died in 1936. He was unmarried to the best of my knowledge.
I found the document I sent you in a random search and to my surprise it seems to indicate a relationship with your relative Louise Pearson. I havn't fully deciphered the writing but the note on the left side indicates that Louise/Charlotte was pregnant in 1884 and Edward is named as the father. The note lower down seems to indicate he was also the father to another child or children. It would be really interesting to establish if these children survived and if they did where did they go?
  When I sent you the document I didn't realise it would show up so publically on the site which I hope doesn't infringe on your privacy.
I will continue to search and will let you know if anything else turns up. Likewise if you can fill in the picture let me know.
    Regards Ed

Thanks for your informative reply. In tracing the history of my granduncle Edward I came upon a reference to him in a document which was mainly about a Louisa Pearson. Searching online I then found your forum which seemed to confirm some of the information in the original document. I'm delighted with your reply and I would be further interested if you had any knowledge of children Louisa/Charlotte may have had. I will attach the image I have so that you can read it youself and confirm that this in fact George's daughter.

Hi
  I would be interested to know if you have any information on Louisa Pearson daughter of George and Catherine Pearson. She was born c 1860 and I believe her father was an Innkeeper at 1 Shirley Street in the 1870s. Thanks for any help you can give.
