Marriage Cert

[sillgen]

This is a difficult one as there are several Pearson families in Bilston/Wolverhampton area and at least two have a Lucy born c 1839/40   In 1841 there is this family HO107/1001/2 F36 p21 Salop Row Bilston
Joseph Pearson age 30 forgeman  not born county
Maria 30 not born county
Edward 10
Mary 8
Sarah 6
Hannah 4
Lucy 2 all b in county
However in 1851 that family do not have a Lucy.  She may be elsewhere or she may have died.
There is also a family with father George Pearson who have a Lucy age 2 in 1841.
I think you should get onto ancestry and check all the marriages for a Lucy Pearson.    As she is down as married in 1861 and John is 3 on that census I should start from 1856ish and hope that a Thomas will cross check it.   I saw the one for Samuel on FreeBMD but that may be a red herring.   It might be worth trying to get a birth certificate for John - or at least find a baptism.
By 1881 it is highly likely that John & Emma are married  and William may be working elsewhere.  
Have fun!

In 1871 RG10 2952 F91 p4 it definitely says Allen, son, age 2 not Ellen daughter and there is a birth in Wolverhampton at about the right time.    There are two couples in Bilston in 1871 called William and Lucy Thomas.     Only one William is born in Wales though.   I do think it says Wrighton, Wales in 1881.  The W is exactly the same as the one above it in Wolverhampton.

Do the Lucy and William born wrighton have any children in 1871 on the census. if they are the right one they should have 3...mine you, were they at home when the census took place?

I have put in the RG10 2953 F91 p4 in the free cen but it cannot find it?

It may not be transcribed on freeCen yet.  The 1871 children are the ones I quoted earlier.  William just says born Wales.
