PEARSON Family London, Essex etc

[avm228]

Details of Sir (Cyril) Arthur Pearson, 1st Baronet, founder of the Daily Express and son of the Rev. Arthur.  His baronetcy is presumably the reason why the family appears in Burke’s.

I have managed to find a copy of Burke's online with the relevant info:

Doesn't give a lot more detail than the snippets I posted the other day - except Ann's death date (1 Mar 1830).

Possible burial for Ann(e):

Westminster, St George Hanover Square

Ann Pearson, Abode: Dover Street, Buried 6 Mar 1830, Age 61 yr

Looks good - one of the sons gave Dover Street as his birthplace at some stage, I distantly recall.

Thanks avm. Good to know I am on the right track.

Now that narrows down John's marriage to Sarah between 1830-1837, when she dies....

[Meriel]

Okay, so it looks like the Earl of Arran owned 40 Dover Street (still standing - very nice!) so I guess John, as his steward, and family may have lived-in there.

Still trying to find John's marriage to Sarah though.

Looks good - one of the sons gave Dover Street as his birthplace at some stage, I distantly recall.

Just refreshed my memory - it was John, in 1861: RG9/1075/200/1.
