Ancestry of John Loughborough Pearson church architect

Jen, I obviously need a refresher course in FamilySearch.

I just searched Family Search for Ann Loughborough spouse William Pearson and ticked exact match for each.

It brings up their marriage and her death.

I just checked and I already have Ann and William in my database, but their children were getting a bit 'off topic', for my actual research.

I just checked and I already have Ann and William in my database,

So did you already have all the information I've given?

[Mart 'n' Al]

Jen, No, not at all, just uncited names of Ann Loughborough & William Pearson from my embarrassing novice days.  Everyone was called Ann or Ralph in those days!  All those documents are a real surprise.  I went a bit berserk as a beginner, grabbing everything except Lord Loughborough.  My great grandmother was Kate Loughborough, and I still laugh about finding a review of 'Kiss Me Kate', Loughborough Theatre.

17:18 Edit. 
Actually, it does mean I had to go through and find everything a second time, once I realised that even with my computer mind, I couldn't juggle them all in my head without citations.  It is a good way of checking, but I wish somebody had convinced me three years ago.

This link suggests she was born in 1776

But the attached clip from the Durham Marriage Bonds from 1794 indicates that she was 21 and so born in 1773.  Or was she lying through her teeth?

The snip you’ve shown is just an index version of the licence I linked to earlier, and I can’t see any ages on that. I don’t know where the ages are taken from.

The age at death is just what whoever reported the death thought was correct, they could well have been wrong.

Ann’s age is 65 in 1841 and looking at the page the enumerator seems not to have rounded ages down, so that gives c.1776

[Mart 'n' Al]

Jen, are the two '21' not their ages?

Re 1841, are you referring to Northgate, Darlington, with Joseph, 35?  Do you think that is her? Can you make anything of his occupation?

Unless I'm missing something significant I can't see any ages on the actual Licence https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6WJL-ZL?i=842&cc=1675690

Re the 1841 I thought it was:

HO 107/701/3/29/10

Edward Street, Limehouse

William Pearson, 69, Artist, N
Ann do, 65, N

According to online biographies William died in 1849.
