Yup that's my Henry. He was originally a nailer by trade (as was Henry Senior his presumed father). Both he and his wife Elizabeth died within a week of each other Elizabeth on 6 Jan 1887 and Henry on 14 Jan 1887 both at Market st. Henry senior died on 6 Jan 1861 at Wyrley Bank, Cheslyn Hay. It would be interesting if their was a connection with your Pearsons. Lichfield holds a few Pearson wills in its records.

I find family search useful..glad to have found a match for Henry!! I have a copy of the will's of Joeseph Pearson Coal Master 1838, Oliver Pearson timber merchant 1837 and Thomas Pearson Coal Master..be happy to send them for to view!! I found a transciption of Joeseph's which makes easy reading..

Zen Rabbit,

                   we must have a few relatives in common because there's that many intermarriages round cheslyn hay and great wyrley.  I take it your related to ellen pearson who married  henry dace 20 may 1844?   My grandmother was a dace and my grandfather a westwood.  Are you a member of cheslyn hay family history society i am. I have been asked to help with the research enquiries. They have a website if your not a member take a look at www.cheslynhay.info.  They have some useful cd's on there on the publications bit.  The st mark's disc has been invaluable. i dare n't take a look at sometimes, i find more and more relations.

Hi

ive Researched the Pearson Family Of Cheslyn Hay and Henry Pearson Born Cir 1806 They No Baptism Record But Henry His Assumped Father Had an Assumped Brother Born Circ 1770 Like Henry As No Baptism Record by The Name John Pearson This John Names His First Two Sons John And Henry This Also The Same With Henry born 1778 So Im Almost Sure the Line Is Descending From John Pearson And Ann Lyons.
