Pearson - 1871 and 1891

[saar3]

I'm looking for William Pearson, brother of my ggg grandmother Catherine Pearson.

He was baptised at Kirby Wiske in North Yorkshire in 1843.

The 1881 census shows this entry for him:

There is such a big gap between Mary and Tom, I was wondering whether Luisa was his second wife.

By 1901 William was living alone in Thirsk.and working as a traction engine driver.

Yes - they were a pretty big family - 8 brothers and sisters altogether.

Many thanks for Luisa.

Having trouble with this.....Couldnt find a William born in right place 71 and so many in Yorks...Thought I would find them in 1891 and c where his birth is listed and no luck so far except that 1 poss Thomas 17 servant...Also there is interestingly enough a William in Thirsk lists as 40 Married Labourer Home of Ellen Smith and Family...Still Hunting  Kris

I think Henry must have died. In 1901 Tom was with Uncle Richard in Headingley. Mary married a John Sykes in Northallerton in 1893. And I think Annie Maria was in York.

Hang on Mary Ive just found something really bazaar!!!...There is a Henry born Kirby Wiske 11 I had discounted him cas mother Susannah  but have just checked every Henry 11 in Yorks parents all wrong so as an afterthought went back to the only born in right place just in case it said nephew or something and I dont Know bout this Mary .... When I look closely at it....Mother Susannah 43 Married born Northallerton Labourer!!! with younger children as well!!!! What do u think....Kris 

[saar3]

Could be a possibility. I've nver found marriage or death entry for Louisa so know nothing much about her.

Could be Susanna Louisa. Would love to see the entry - think all Kirby Wiske Pearsons must be mine ...............

Oh wonderful. Many thanks for that.

What a moron I've been - have now found Louisa in 1901 - age out by just a few years.

She had split from William - didn't happen much in those days.
