John and Mary Pearson (nee Deavis)

I'm not sure if Mary's baptism has been mentioned or not ... http://tinyurl.com/3x43gnn

It seems to confirm what has been suggested

This is where you order certificates. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

Do double check that the spelling of names and the vol and page numbers I gave you are correct. Do that here http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
using the spellings they use.

Here's Barbara and her older husband William Taylor with his children from his first marriage I would say and Sarah possibly Barbara's illegitimate daughter? her birth place Askham which ties in with Barbara.

Thanks for that Geoff. Certainly sorts that one out.

Thanks Geoff-E - yes it would appear that this is correct and that Mary born 1853 is daughter of Margaret, and unless there is a missing Mary from the list of children of John and Mary Pearson, then this is "Aunt" Mary, or should I say Cousin Mary!   (How do I do a smiley face!!)

Any proof that Sarah born February 1865 is the daughter of Barbara?  Story goes that her name was Sarah Taylor in 1882 when she was a witness to James Pearson's marriage (uncle)
