John and Mary Pearson (nee Deavis)

[Geoff-E]

Any proof that Sarah born February 1865 is the daughter of Barbara?

 Sarah Pearson on 1881 census (dont know where I got it!) 16 yrs old - est birth abt 1865 Askham Westmoreland. Servant at 35 Casatlegate Railway Hotel - Burns Household.
This seems to be the same Sarah we are looking at? John and Mary had died by this stage, 1874 and 1875.
Where was she in 1891, 1901, 1911 and 1921?
Did she marry - I am thinking not, and that she could have been in or near the James Pearson household in 1919, as she sent thanks via Fannie for a gift from Aunt Sarah in Aus. 

Looks like we have Barbara sorted out?

Also 1841 and 1851 censuses tally with my list, Thomas would have left the household by 1841 and I know Thomas was definately an older son - first on my list.
Any possibility there was a twin James to Richard, born c. 1837.  Richard is 4 on the 1841 census, and we have listed a James in the same year.  Possible died at birth?

I would like to follow James and his family also "Aunt" Mary and Sarah if possible.
Many thanks, great help to me.

Yes sorry about that Ada is 23.

No birth registration available for Richard as reg didn't start until the Sept 1/4 but there is a death reg for a James Pearson Sept 1/4 West Ward Westmorland vol 25 page 311 which may be him. Only the cert would confirm.

The 1881 census for Sarah b1864 dau of Barbara is correct.

Marriage 1888 Dec 1/4 W.Ward vol10b page 1021 Sarah Pearson t John Sandford Mounsey.
 She married in to the Mounsey family. Remember Thomas and Matthew both worked for them at one stage?
