Westacott & Pearson of Swansea
« on: Friday 07 February 14 17:51 GMT (UK) »
I've traced my Pearson relatives from Manchester to Swansea in the 19th century, but I'm stuck on Ann Jane Pearson (born 1860 Manchester). She married William Westacott in 1877 in Swansea, and there appear to be two children, Clifford Richard Westacott (1878 Swansea) and William Leslie Westacott (1880 Wednesbury, Staffordshire).  Then they vanish and I can't find any of them in the 1881 census.  Can anyone help please?  I have found Clifford and Leslie with their Pearson grandparents in Swansea in 1891, and followed them after that in 1901 and 1911, but there's no further trace of their parents.

Carole
Thank you so much.  I've just had a look and yes, there they are.  That answers one of my questions.  I'll check the other censuses for William and Annie West, and the deaths too.
Frian.
