PEARSON Family London, Essex etc

[Meriel]

This looks like John Pearson, snr in the 1841 census. The writing is very faint so I have gone for Ancestry's interpretation:

1841 census Upper Gloucester Place Marylebone
John Pearson 68 Ind. No
Eliza Pearson 30 – No
Neran Pearson 2 – Yes
Emma Cutts 25 servant No
Ann Chalcraft 25 servant No
Elizabeth Johnson 28 servant No

Not sure who Eliza and Neran (? boy) are though.

I have found, so far, 2 sons, Arthur & John, b 1803 & 1806

Baptisms of Pearson children, parents John & Ann, at St George Hanover Square:

02 Sep 1803: Arthur (born 8th?  Month not stated).
24 Dec 1805: John (born 13 Sep 1805)
23 Jan 1807: Edward (born 13 Oct 1806)
23 Feb 1808: Mary Ann (born 12 Nov 1807)
10 Dec 1808: George (born 13 Nov 1808)
21 May 1810: George (born 13 Nov 1808)

Ah well done! I think that could answer a lot of questions!

That's definitely him!  Address of Upper Gloucester Place in the Will.
Wife called Eliza mentioned -- so if Sarah was his (2nd) wife, then Eliza must be a third.

Great find.

"Neran" is Arran, born 13 Jun 1839 and bapt 17 Jul 1839 at St Marylebone.

Parents: John (gent, of 10 Upper Gloucester Place, Dorset Square) & Eliza.

Oh I had been wondering if 'Eliza' in the 1841 census was a misspelling of 'Eloisa' who is son George's wife but a third wife could be an option. I think I found George's marriage:

Married (Feb 1835)
On the 18th inst at Aston Warwickshire, George Pearson Esq to Eloisa, only daughter of John Turner Esq, Sisley Croft, Erdington
