1851 Census Lookup - PIERSON - Chesterton

[Wayne]

Who were the other witnesses at the marriage? Who was Henry's father?

HI David:

Thanks for checking the census data. The witnesses at the 1872 marriage were Emma's father William Pearson (spelled Pierson on the certificate) and Elizabeth Walker. Henry's father was also Henry.

Hi Wayne

Bearing in mind that they were married in Lambeth this may well be Henry in 1861
RG9/348 folio 13A
18 Richard St, Lambeth, Surrey
Henry Alland head marr 39 iron founder born Bradford, Wiltshire
Martha Alland wife 41 b Bradford Wilts
Henry Alland son 12 scholar b Maidstone, Kent
Charles Alland son 6 scholar b Lambeth
George Alland son 3 b Walworth Surrey

They were in the same house in 1871 RG10/649 folio 27A
Henry Aland head marr 49 iron founder born Bradford, Wiltshire
Martha Aland wife 51 b Bradford Wilts
Henry Aland son unmarr 22 iron founder b Maidstone, Kent
Charles Aland son unmarr 16 iron founder  b Lambeth
George Aland son 14 scholar b Lambeth


Did Emma and Henry have any children? What do you know about Henry’s post 1875 life?

The witness William need not necessarily have been her father. He could have been her brother.

Hi, David...According to one of Wayne's posts Henry was born to a Henry & Rebecca (1853 Emmanuel, Loughborough, Leicester)...so we are looking at the wrong Henries...J.J.

Thanks JJ. Thought it all fitted together too easily - Henry son of Henry married in Lambeth in 1872. Henry son of Henry living in Lambeth in 1871.

It would be interesting to know Henry and Emma's marriage address(es). Might be able to do a sweep in the enumeration district to see who was there in 1871.

Hi David,

Just read your posts on Henry. Thanks for taking the time to work on this. My reason for investigating Emma is the following: three years after their marriage in 1872, Henry ended up in the US. I was interested to collect more data on Emma to find out what happened to her after Henry left. I believe she remarried, in London, in 1875.

Henry was listed as living on "Church Street" on his marriage certificate. No address for Emma.
