Hmmmm

Death
Oct/Nov/Dec 1837
Chichester
07 203
Sarah Pearson age 52

That makes her a) rather old to be having children only a couple of years before and b) a lot older than hubby if he was born 1805. 
I don't think that can be the right death record (though the only one in index) unless the age is wrong and should be 32!

According to the death notice she was the wife of Mr (rather than Rev) Pearson, so it makes sense for her to be that age if she's a subsequent wife of the older John, following Ann.

Well worked out - I had missed the "Mr" for her husband as opposed to the "Rev" for the lady who was having children (who wasnt the same person, and therefore wasnt necessarily called Sarah!).

 So both John senior and John junior were frequenting Arran Lodge.

Could this be the son from the paper (Feb 1832)

Marriage
On the 21st inst. at Bersted Church, the Rev. John Pearson, Rector of East Hamden, Essex, to Frances Harriet, second daughter of Michael Brown, Esq. of Bognor, Sussex

Also frequenting Arran Lodge were the Rev A Pearson and Mrs Pearson, who arrived at the Berners Hotel in London from Arran Lodge in November 1837, a week or so after the death of "Sarah".  Presumably this was Arthur.  Their inclusion among the Morning Post's "fashionable arrivals" tells us something about the Pearsons' status.

(Morning Post, 8 November 1837).
