Henry PEARSALL

[trisholdham]

Hi,
Thank you all for the help, the war record is of his son, Harry Tremaine(Pearsall) was married to Matilda Elliott (second wife)   first wife was Cecilia Rousell.
I found Harry Pearsall on the 1881 census under Dearsall - if you put in Myra Dearsall born 1842 born in Oldswinford Worcestershire it should come up okay and if you look at the original it will show Harry there age 16.
On the 1871 census put in Mirah Pearsall age 29 from Oldswinford living at Upperswinford Worcestershire, then look at the original and you will see Harry age 6yrs a boy, but it has been punched up as Mary.
I can not find him on the 1891 census, or any other.
I found a ship called "Rockton" coming from Melbourne to Sydney on the 16 march 1888 with a passenger called Pearsall, so that is why we thought it might be him.

Many thanks for all your help.

Thanks for having a look for me, he did go to Melbourne and then landed up in NSW, but some where in between he changed his name to Henry (Harry)Tremaine.

May I ask how you know he went to Melbourne and then NSW?

Can you answer the question cando asked?

Does his death certificate state how long he had been living in AUS?

[trisholdham]

Death certificate dated 17th April 1901 says he had been in NSW 15 years, and he was aged 34 yrs at death.

I thought he came to Melbourne because I found him on the steam ship "Rockton" going from Melbourne to Sydney in 1888, but I could be wrong. I have looked and looked for him coming out here under Pearsall and Tremaine, but no luck.

It's possible that he worked his way over to AUS as a crew member, many young men did.

Have you searched for him as crew on ships arriving to AUS ports?

[trisholdham]

Yes I have looked for him as a crew member, but no luck
