Pearson, from moneydie

[watcher]

I have been tracing my ancestors who are named pearson. I have been able to trace them back to moneydie in perthshire. I am stuck at William who married a Mary Peddie at moneydie.4 dec 1754.

I have been able to find two william pearson`s , one born 22 april 1705 at moneydie & the other born 13 mar 1709 in redgorton, which is just a few miles down the road. i am a bit sceptical that they may be the william i am looking for as they would be around 50 when they had their sons william and john, can anyone help ?

I am also trying to find out what became of Mary Pearson, born 1856, she had two children, Lawerence , who was my G Grandfather & Whilhelmina.
Mary went on to marry Alexander Anderson 3 jun 1891 in moneydie. Can anyone help. Thanks

yes lorna,  that is lawrence from 1881, his mother is also listed here as mary, aged 26. Lawrence`s full name was lawerence edwin wilson pearson, unable to find out where his middle names came from.
I have been up to Moneydie and found the orramans cottage and other buildings that they have lived in. I have also found the grave of James and mary, which also included his son & Gr son james.
Next to that grave was Jane`s who married a james scimgeour.

I am also puzzled by two children being listed as Gr son & G son

thanks for the reply,
charlie

It would be nice if you could find any other pearsons who may have lived in the surrounding area, if its not too much bother.

I am also looking up Alexander Young who married Jane montgomerie 3rd mar 1876 in Lochee, Dundee.
His father was Charles(1828-1869) and his wifes name was Elizabeth Smith Cooper (died 1870).

Thanks for your help,
Charlie.

Lorna the info you have given me on william is great, William married Christina walker 3rd oct 1873, they had a son james( 6th aug 1875) who is on the Moneydie census you posted earlier, but william`s occupation was listed on james`s birth cert as policeman.

It would appear that James lived with his gr father in moneydie for quite some time as i found him in the 1891 cunsus for moneydie.aged 15.

I did not know that william had two daughters, that is great news and more to add to my f tree, thanks again
