Hi
My great grandfather was Daniel Pearson LEES, born in Worsley in 1875. Family lore has it he was named after the local doctor to whom his father Edwin was coachman.
I have just found a likely entry for Dr Pearson in 1871 and wondered whether anyone out there could tell me more about him.
1871 – Henry PEARSON H M 35 M.R.C.S. Eng L.S.A. Genl Practner Lancs Salford
Harriet Jane W M 20 Surgeons wife , Lancs Newton Heath
Louisa Theresa Mother W 69 Annuitant Yorkshire Hull
Servants Alice Weaver Johnson and Fanny Tildsley. In Burying Lane Worsley, 3 pages and 13 households away from Edwin and Alice. In 1861 He is 23, at home in Chorlton upon Medlock with parents John, wool merchant from Liverpool and mother Louisa from Hull.
1871 - Edwin LEES Head M 22 Coachman and domestic servant Manchester
