Oliver Pearson and Hannah

[Jopeg]

Hello

I am trying to find a marriage probably in Brierley Hill of Oliver Pearson and Hannah, around 1770, I have baptisms for their sons George in 1774 and James in 1780.

Probably clutching at straws...

Hi
It looks like there were other children with a Susannah who I think is  is probably the same woman.
Oliver 21.7.1765 Kingswinford
Sarah 27 Mar 1768 Brierley Hill : St Michael
Mary  23 Sep 1770 Brierley Hill : St Michael
Joseph 25 Aug  1776   Brierley Hill : St Michael

Still no luck with that marriage but
Oliver Pearson age 67 buried 6 May 1800 Brierley Hill does suggest an earlier date for that marriage.
Burial for Hannah age 83 Brierley Hill 30 April 1817 from the Delph suggests a birth 1734 ish so again look a bit earlier.

Thanks I had come across Susannah as well, wonder if they were the same person?

Maybe a clue among their descendants, I’ll see if any survived post census.

Well it seems that Oliver (junior) left a will and Joseph was in the Canadian army and 6ft tall with brown hair, grey eyes and a long face!
