You have not answered Andrea's question.

Who are you actually working back from that you know is a definite relative of yours? A grandfather or Grandmother perhaps? If they are still alive then PM us with the details.

If you cannot answer the question then it is very difficult to help you.

hi all

i started from thomas pearson (my grand father) born in 1872 and his wife elizabeth mccarrick
these are the first that i looked at as my father remembered them

from there i found his mother and father (william and rachel )
then found his mother and father (john and hannah) looking for more info on hannah

then found olga looking for members of the pearson family on ancestry
went looking  on the net for john pearson and hannah tweddle's marrage
found it at gretna green

in 1861 rachel  johnston was a house servant she was 19 y old

Right.  Thomas and Elizabeth married in Gateshead in 1899.  Now for 1901....

Rachel 51 b Cumberland
Robert 21 coal miner b Auckland
Thomas 19 coal miner b Felling
Charlotte 16 b Gateshead
Jane Ann 14 b Dunston
Bell 11 b Dunston

This has a different age and birth place for Thomas but ties in with 1911 index details.

1881 RG115043 29 11
This shows William as born in Scotland!  Plus two older children Elizabeth 15 and Hannah 13 born at Escomb and Leadgate.

1871 RG10 5012 37 67 in Cory Street Ryhope
William's birth place is Hollingswood Lancs.  Age 31 so born c 1840
This confirms everything back to 1871 but now gets us back to more uncertain times.  Do you have the marriage certificate for William and Rachel?   Sorry, you may have said on another thread but I can't find it.  Is that where you got his father as John?  Who were the witnesses?
You say that in 1841 William is with his mother Hannah nee Tweddle in 1841 yet the marriage for John at Gretna was to a Hannah Johnston so this does not make sense to me.  Is this a typing error?

Good work Andrea

Now this is interesting and I don't know if there is a link here yet as I have not had time to look but Rachael in 1861 is living next door to a Pearson family.

And there is a William age 20 with them!    Born in Durham though and son of a Thomas.  You are making life more complicated!!!

I know sorry, ignore that for the moment.

Just been looking on Lancashire BMD and to me there is a choice of two William's, one born to Tweedale, 1841 and another to Heywood, 1840.
