Cumberland / John and Mary Pearson (nee Deavis)
« on: Monday 17 May 10 06:11 BST (UK) »
I am researching the family of John and Mary Pearson (nee Deavis) who lived at Penrith, Askham, Westmoreland. I believe this area is very close to Cumberland, where some of the family worked. Seven of 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. Barbara married a Taylor.
I would like to check the years and birth dates 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.
I would also love to find out more details about the siblings who remained at home, who they married and who their families were? There may have been illegitimate children.
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. 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. We cant work out who Aunt Mary is, nor who Nellie or Pollie belong to.
Can anyone help me please?
