Hi JM.

I had a try at that and was stymied at the outset by being unsure whether MILLIE was Millicent, Amelia, Emily etc.

She was clearly not the person FREDERICK PEARSON married.

Some thoughts ....

I was thinking along the lines of the Millie Marshall whose birth is indexed as Mille Marshall.

That lass was born 1895, so could be a friend or relative of the Simpsons, and may have known Frederick Leslie as a school friend, as they would be of similar age.

Millie's letter seems to suggest there were several people keeping up correspondence with Frederick Leslie P during his hospitalisation in England.  The letter was dated 1917.

Re the birth registration for Millie, born 1895 The ref for the birth cert 3807.

Parents recorded for Millie as William Thomas Marshall and Jessie Lang.

There are many other clues in the file for Frederick Leslie Pearson, despite it being in some dis-order.

Cheers,  JM

Hi, Everybody in the family knew Frederick Leslie PEARSON boarded with the SIMPSONS before and after the war how the connection with them came about I do  not know, maybe an advertisement in the paper I do not know.

It is allways  very helpfull to detail  all you do have, it does  save people doing the same work over again and again.  Had you stated  this  information  that you had on  the Simpson  connection  it  would have been beneficial

I don't mean to sound nasty  as I know  that we all do love to help and that is why  we are members of rootschat.


So  if he boarded with them did the run a boarding house  it doesn't appear so but who knows.

As Charles Thomas Simpson  was 40  when he married Margaret Duncan  either one of them might have had a child earlier. ,  he could have been a child born illegitimately  to a sister to either one of  them


My  thoughts for what they are worth  is his  birth was not recorded or simply translated incorrectly.

Hi Yogi,

Jenn's words are full of wisdom and I fully support them.

Many cheers,  JM
