Pearson, from moneydie

[Eddie Morgan]

Hi Charlie

Just saw your message today. I have Christina Pearson's death details from another distant relative, Ian Mc Dougall, who is descended from Helen Taylor. Christina died in Murthly Asylum Perthshire at 5.40 am on 2nd February 1912. Her usual residence was recorded as Auchterarder. From the register of corrected entries the cause of death was Gangrenous Lung affecting heart's action. She was recorded as 60 years old by the hospital attendant who registered the death.

Best Wishes

Hi,
I've just found this site and thought I'd chip in.
I too am looking for Pearson in moneydie. My Pearson is James who married Ann Fenwick. I've found all his children baptised in Moneydie but that's where the trail ends. I can't find their marriage or anything else.
Anyone else got them on their tree

Thomas bapt 11 June 1786 Moneydie
James  Bapt 11 May 1788         
Anne born about 1791 Married John Stratton in Moneydie 31 May 1811
William bapt 24 March 1793
Peter bapt 25 Nov 1795 Married Christian Cameron 17 Oct 1824.
Peter is my 2 X Great Grandfather and moved to London sometime between 1825 and 1827 Leaving behind his son John, bapt 20 May 1825.
This John was living with his Grandfather on the 1841 census and later became the Gamekeeper at Methvin castle.

I am also interested in any Pearsons that stay or stayed in Redgorton, perthshire and in Dundee, Scotland.
I am also looking for any information on Wilhelmina Scrimgeour Pearson born 1 april 1886 in Moneydie. I believe my mother who died in 1977 was named after her.

I am now trying to find Mary Pearson in 1901 census but cannot find her.
Mary was born in Moneydie 1854.
She had two children Lawrence 1881 & Wilhelmina 1886.
In 1888 her father died and she went on to marry Alexander Anderson in 1891 in Moneydie.
They moved to perth and in 1897 Alexander died in 3 South William st. Perth. Mary died in 1907 at Huntingtower Farm but resided in Atholl St, Perth.
Her Daughter was a domestic servant in Perth aged 14 1901 census.
Her son was married  in Perth in 1900 and she was a grandmother that year.
I have tried to find her but am drawing a blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Watcher

This is the closest I can see on the 1901 Census:

Mary Anderson    43, Laundress, b. Perthshire
Alexander Anderson 8, b. Perthshire
James Anderson    7 b. Perthshire
Jane Anderson    5 b. Perthshire

Address: 21 Union St, Perth

Maybe you can verify through the children's birth certs?

Regards.
