I am researching the family of John and Mary Pearson (nee Deavis) who lived at Askham, Westmoreland. Their children Thomas, John, Matthew, Richard, Robert, Sarah (m. James William Lugsdin in Australia 1869) and Jane (married Thomas Fletcher) all emigrated to Victoria, Australia c. 1860 - 1870.
A number of siblings remained at home, including one other son James, and daughters Margaret Mary and Barbara. We have some family information, but conflicting details particularly in relation to Mary. Was there a sister Mary, who lived to old age? Our information is that the Mary on our list died as a baby in 1835.
I would love to find out more details about the siblings who remained at home, who they married and who their families were?
Some Australian relatives visited in 1928 and we have photos of Fannie (daughter of James) Nellie and Pollie Pearson. Also Aunt Mary who was quite elderly at that time and had a likeness to Sarah and Jane.
There is a Lacklison (Lackliason) relationship.
I would also like to check the years that the known siblings were born, and if there were any others. My list is as follows:
Thomas 1827, Margaret 1829, John 1831, Matthew 1833, Mary 1835, James and Richard (1837 - did this James die as a baby?) Barbara 1839, Robert 1842, William 1845, Sarah 1847, James 1850 and Jane 1852.
Can anyone help me please?

According to the IGI there were 13 children christened at Askham to John and Mary Peason and the year of their christenings match your dates. Mary's death is recorded as 27 November 1835. There is a christening in Askham of a Mary, 21 August 1853, mother Margaret Pearson. Is this your missing Mary?

Many thanks for your reply to my message, I have been very lucky to find willing helpers!
I am reading through your research and will quote as I go through.
1. Mary born 1853 is our Mary, daughter of Margaret Pearson. We are now assuming that this Mary is the only child Margaret had, there are no more on any of the census', however in a letter from her father to sister Sarah, he mentions Margaret and the little ones in 1874 - assume he is talking about someone else.
2. The 3 other couples registered at Askham - are they related to John Pearson do you think? There seem to be hundreds of Pearsons! I think the Uncle Richard referred to later is his brother, both born Great Strickland Westmorland?
3. 1901 Reference to Robert Lacklison - he is not a child of John and Mary Lacklison is he? There have been a couple of mentions of Robert, and going to Canada and joining the Canadian Army. Robinson was possibly called Bob, and we have a photo of him, have found his death in England, so presume he stayed in England, but visited Australia at some stage. I cant tie Robert into this family - any clues?
4. Who is John I. Lacklison - 1901 census 21 years old
5. Yes, our John Pearson died 1876, wife Mary died before him, January 1875, both at Askham
6. 1891 census James Pearson is only son of John and Mary to remain in England. 4 children correct. His son James emigrated to America, the other 3 stayed in England. I would love to know when Mary E. died. Her father James died in 1919, and she was very sick around this time.
I think we have Barbara sorted out, married William Taylor 1870, had illegitimate daughter Sarah 5 years earlier, who married a Mounsey (same name as Thomas was with in 1851)
I have found where Thomas Pearson married in England in 1955 to Alice Barrow, before they emigrated. Had a daughter Mary born 1857. Also a son John, and I cant find him anywhere there, or here. Born by 1861.
Looking at shipping and we have worked out Sarah and William 1864 on the Tudor, Jane on the Hydrabad 1869, Robert and Richard with a number of Pearsons, including an Alice and infant Mary in 1860, and 2 Johns - Sov of the Seas. Wondering if one is son John, and one brother John, with incorrect ages, or is it brothers John and Thomas, incorrectly named, and ages. Alice's age is a few years out, not unusual? A Mathew is listed in 1857 and Thomas 1858 and 1859 I think it was. Did Thomas come out and then send for his wife and child (children) or was it him on the boat, Sovereign of the Seas 1860?
All brothers with exception of Thomas either married in Australia or didnt marry at all. Death certificates for the Pearson brothers indicate they emigrated between 1858 and 1860.
Many thanks again for your help

In reply to your 'list'.
1. letter - perhaps it refers to Barbara's children?
2. I can't find a connection between those Peason's in Askham around the 1830s. Nor can I find the parents of John and his brother Richard (1881 census with James and Margaret Pearson).
3. Robert/Robinson/Bob could all be the same person. If Robinson was telling someone his name i.e. Rob, Bob, then it could easily be written down as Robert. Also, I can't find any mention anywhere of a Robinson in 1901 nor a Robert Lacklison b. Dearham in 1991.
4. I would imagine that the person who transcribed the census, read the terrible writing as an I rather than a P.
6. Can't find a death recorded for a Mary E Pearson before 1939 - might she have married?
-
Thank you for the answers to those queries and apologies for not replying earlier, but family matters intervening!
We dont know what happened to Mary E, but she was not mentioned in letters at a later date, or family visits in 1929. She was ill in 1919, and that is where our trail ends. I just felt she may have died in the 1920's. I am not aware that she married.
It would be good to get the marriage of Robert Pearson, who was 7 on the 1891 census, son of James and Annie. I think her name was Nellie, so must be Ellen?. Sister Fanny never married and James went to America.
I have no information on him after 1919 and if anyone can help with that, would be really good.
Bob would appear to be short for Robinson, I have a photo of a Bob Lacklison, so I think it must be him. I dont know if he married or if he was the Robert who may have gone to Canada and joined the Canadian army??
We are gradually building a family picture of the children and parents who stayed at home, and now know lots more about the children who emigrated, from our Australian research.
Shipping records are still a query, especially Thomas, wife Alice and daughter Mary, and a possible son John, who it is not known whether he was born in England or Australia. Listed on his fathers death cert. but not registered in Victoria.
Do you have records of migrants leaving Liverpool around 1857 to 1860, and if so, would be great to know
if you could locate Mathew who may have come on his own first, and then maybe Thomas. I have Richard and Robert coming on the Sovereign of the Seas arriving 1860, and maybe John, with other Pearsons on that ship, eg Alice and infant Mary, which are intriguing. None of these are on the 1861 census so definitely came out by then, and death certificates indicate they arrived in Aust. between 1857 and 1860. William and Sarah came on the Tudor in 1864 and Jane on the Hyderabad in 1869 we think.
William was not on the census with his parents and younger siblings in 1861, and am wondering if he had gone to work somewhere by then?
Any help with the above will be greatly appreciated. :)
-
I think you may be at the stage where you will have to send for some certificates. If you do and you stipulate that 'only issue if the father's name is ??, then should it be for the wrong couple then the cert. won't be issued and your fee will be returned. You can make as many stipulations as you like, e.g. age, trade.

Robert Pearson married Mary E Reeves Sep.qtr 1912 Wandsworth London 1d 1432
Births - Nellie O Pearson (mother Reeves) Sep.qtr 1916 Dartford London 2a 1074
as I said - these are long shots, and nearest to where they lived in 1911, mainly marriages for 'Robert' without another initial are rare and of those others, they are scattered about the country and non in Westmorland, where he could have gone home!
I was attracted to this marriage because of the daughter Nellie, but it could easily be wrong.
The shipping details I have access to are from 1890 and so are useless for the information that you need. Perhaps someone else can help you there.

Hi Lyn,
Funny that I should stumble across this thread. I have just started researching my 3rd great grandparents, Thomas Pearson & Alice Barrow. I decend from their daughter, Elizabeth Pearson (b.21 Feb 1873 d. 11 Sep 1934)
I'm not sure if you have this branch. If you dont have it yet, I can help you out there. And i also have a few certificates of Elizabeth's that i dont mind sharing if you need.
I'm trying to work out when Thomas & Alice emigrated to Australia, and who their parents were. from reading the above messages, it sounds like Thomas is the son of John & Mary Pearson (nee Deavis)??
I hope you can help me.

Hi Jessica, great to hear from you. Yes, have been working on the Pearsons this year, we descend from Sarah, a younger sister of Thomas who was the eldest in the family. I have his death certificate and know a little about him, but not a lot. We have been unable to ascertain definately when he emigrated but he was married to Alice Barrow in Liverpool, England in 1855, and a child Mary was born in Liverpool c. 1857. She died in Victoria aged 17 in 1874. Have not been able to work out second child John, whether he was born in England or Victoria, after they arrived here. I think they came between 1858 and 1860. I have more information on the emigration of some of the other brothers and sisters, most of the family came to Australia, only 3 remained at home. Barbara, Margaret and James. I shall contact you off list as well.

Well I just couldn't believe my luck when i saw the name COLLINSON
My sister in law is 87 and I suppose as you get older you want to know your roots. She was born out of wedlock with ARTHUR COLLINSON as father, who eventually 10 or more years later "went off with a women" my sister in law has said that she thought he went to high wycombe.
Her Grandparents were Joseph and Ada (Taylor) COLLINSON (Joseph being a clog maker)
His brothers were ERNEST COLLINSON died in the HMS Josefina Thorden in 1943 aged 40.
JOSEPH COLLINSON born 1910
JARARD born 1912 and married to Elise M Ralmley
and ARTHUR COLLINSON her father
I have got this far..... !!!! I got as far as he died in 1962 in the register for England & Wales 1837-2007 - What do I do now...... I have gone through England & Wales 1837 and can't find any info
She remembers one of the brothers taking her up to Penrith and playing with her (she was born in 1928) but thats all she can remember but presumably Arthur would have taken her up there as she lived in Kendal. Arthur also lived in Kendal. She can't remember anything else and would dearly like more information which is where I come in as I have a computer, albeit in Spain and my computer is roasting.
Can you possibly help with any more information about the COLLINSONS?
I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have already spent lots of time on this but got (as I see it) nowhere really!!!
I think she would like to know if the brothers had any children etc

I think I may have posted in the wrong place and hope the moderator will help. Obviously its a reply below to the above "the Pearson family"
I just need some help please
I live in spain in mountains and my WiFi isn't v good.
It seems my message has gone in the wrong place!!

Re Mary E Pearson who married Harry Garth 1928 Kendal district.
This is actually Mary Ellen Pearson born 27 September 1902 at Milnthorpe, (died 2003 Kendal district). She was the oldest child of Richard Lancaster Pearson and his wife Margaret (nee Arkwright) of Milnthorpe - possibly of interest to someone.

Looks like I may be a full cousin to Jean kellett. My father was Joseph Collins on, brother to Arthur, again, like Jean, born out of wedlock. If you're still interested we could maybe get in touch.
