Pearson Birkenhead

[PearsonKenneway]

Hi there I'm looking to trace my great grandads family.
He moved to Glasgow from Birkenhead and didn't talk much to or about his family in Birkenhead.

He was Laurence Pearson (Larry) who married Catherine Steensohn

He had 4 sisters, Ellein, Mary (Daley), Annie, Vera (Williams) I believe Vera and there mother emigrated.

I don't want to know what ever caused the fall out as it must have been bad I just want to know where I come from the people's names what they done for a living etc.  I know what ever happened was more than likely great grandad Larrys doing.
Any help would be much appreciated

I see that he married in Scotland in 1943.

I am wondering if the below is his birth?

Births Dec 1923   
Pearson    Lawrence J    Collins    Birkenhead    8a   708

A slightly different spelling of Laurence.

Hmm, two possible Pearson/Collins marriages:-

Marriages Mar 1911   
Ambury    Frances E        Birkenhead    8a   757    
Collins    Lily        Birkenhead    8a   757    
Montgomery    Evelyn G        Birkenhead    8a   757    
Pearson    Hartley G        Birkenhead    8a   757


Marriages Jun 1911   
Collins    Elizabeth        Birkenhead    8a   1031    
Cornes    Harriet        Birkenhead    8a   1031    
Pearson    John        Birkenhead    8a   1031    
White    Thomas        Birkenhead    8a   1031   

Have you any birth certificates for this family?  If so you can check the names of the parents.

Yes he did that will be another line of family that will be interesting with the surname steensohn!

Larry was born 1926
His parents I believe are John and Elizabeth pearson

Thanks for the help

1889 born Elizabeth Collins married
1877 born John Pearson

So who was there parents and brothers and sisters that's the question now

[Girl Guide]

There is a Vera Pearson birth year 1931 going to New York on 16th August 1950 as a student.  Doesn't appear to be travelling with anyone though.

[PearsonKenneway]

From what we know Elizabeth ended up over in new York with her daughter.
A family member contacted Vera' or her daughter I believe but what ever happened in the family there was no love and not a lot of information about each other passed either way

The children I can see with father Pearson and mother Collins are
1911 Male 
1912 Annie
1917 Mary Catherine
1922 Alice
1923 Lawrence John
1927 Eileen
1931 Vera

All born in Birkenhead Registration District
