Re his birth
From his WWI service records, he was born BRUNSWICK (Vic) and aged 22 in July 1915

I note that page 1 of those records gives his middle name as  Leslie I note that page 3 gives his middle name as Lancelot, and I suspect this page is NOT actually “his” page, for that chap’s medical is dated 2 June 1915, ie six weeks BEFORE Frederick Leslie enlisted...

If I were YOGI, I would be contacting the National Archives of Australia to ask for further clarification as to the apparent confusion between TWO chaps, one with service number 3095 (Frederick Leslie P aged 22) and one named Frederick Lancelot, enlisted at aged 20 years 6 months. (number 3032) Frederick Lancelot P’s paperwork IS digitised. It could be that some further pages in Frederick Leslie P’s files are also NOT for him.

However, it seems that Frederick Leslie Pearson believed he was aged 22 in July 1915 and that his parents were deceased, and that he was born at Brunswick.  So born about 1893, perhaps 1892, 3, 4 ....  which of course supports Sue's post re his death indexed in 1978

Cheers,  JM

Yogi,

Regarding the man named J B PEARSON of PORTLAND

He is recorded in the WW1 file for FREDERICK and seems to say he is the soldier's father, though FREDERICK records his parents as deceased.


There is a letter from him to the Dept requesting information.

He is possibly JOSEPH JOHNSON BELL PEARSON who appears on electoral roll around that time in Portland and seems the only man of such similar initials there.

He seems to be a married man and he and his wife do not have a son born  on the Victorian indexes names FREDERICK LESLIE PEARSON. They stop having children by 1886....FREDERICK was born about 1893. There are other chn to them. This man's wife died in 1908.

{Details of the events are available if required }

There is no birth in Brunswick (I can see) with the parental names EMILY MOYLE and GEORGE PEARSON for a son FREDERICK PEARSON.

The only other link I can see is that when JOSEPH JOHNSON BELL PEARSON died his mother was recorded as  Mary SIMPSON (details available) and FREDERICK's Next of Kin is listed as Mrs W SIMPSON
(common enough name of course!!)

Sue

Thanks Jenn for the link,


It is always so valuable to have a revisit of past data.

The fuller picture  from your prior searches with GENNIG might help from here on.

Thank you Sue and Leanne for your replies on Frederick Leslie PEARSON, I was looking for confirmation of parents names and his date of birth. A long lost relative. I have been unable to find any information other than his war record. I have Marriage and Death details but no information on the above.


His marriage certificate for 1926 would detail where he was born & his parents names even if they were deceased.
Do you have a copy of it?

After Emma Pearson dies in 1902 Jordon remarries
Ethel Sarah ORAMES in 1903 reg no 2338 and 2338R first certificate has her name as ORAMA states he was born Brighton and she Kynton

They have one child
Raymond Wm Fran PEARSON born in 1904 at Richmond reg no 20982




PEARSON Jordon born 1862 at Brighton
Father Isaac mother Elizabeth Healey reg no 19329

Death

PEARSON Jordan died aged 89 on 1952 at South Melbourne reg no 12067
Father Isaac mother Elizabeth Healey



Frederick Leslie PEARSON’s death details his father as George, it is possible  that should be Jordon similar sounding perhaps?

A copy of Jordan PEARSON’s death certificate should list his children but that knowledge will only be as good as the informant knowledge of the deceased,  they did know his parents names.   The informant may be his wife Ethel as she dies after him.

Hi there,

Perhaps a side-track, BUT from an online index for births

There's a birth registration for 1893 at BRUNSWICK, for a Frederick Leslie LOCHLAND, with his parents indexed as George Lochland and Mary Rigby.  The Vic BDM reference # 20104

I haven't followed up any further on that birth.

I notice that the online index for AIGS has an Ah Wye with d o d as 17 Sept 1897, and at the Amherst/Talbot Cemetery.   (following on from one discussion on that earlier thread, with mention of that surname)....

Cheers,  JM

Thank you, Gerry, Raylen, Sue, Leanne, JM, Jenn, Merlin for your research on Frederick Leslie PEARSON, I have Marriage Certificate (no parents named) Death Certificate but I have been unable to source a Birth Certificate, any advice would be greatly appreciated. JM suggested there maybe a connection to Frederick Leslie LOCHLAND, the date would seem to be about right. that is about as close as I have been able to get.  Many thanks, Yogi.
