ARC TBC......Matilda Pearson/ Edwin North/ Harden Cooksey-

[Northern Lass]

Matilda's Parents:

The only possible marriage I have found is 13 March 1826, Old Swinford - not sure about this as there is a gap to the age of the first child I have for this couple, and there were other Pearson families in Old Swinford.

The children I have for Joseph & Hannah Pearson (all born/ bapt Brierley Hill):
Sebra 1834
Phoebe 1836
Benjamin 1838
Matilda 1840
Henry 1842
Eliza 1845

If Joseph Pearson is born abt 1807 and these are his kids
he cant be this one

that one on 1841 is still with parents

I think you're right (although he could simply have been visiting) as the occupation is wrong - in all later censuses his occupation is always bricklayer.
Don't know why I made the connection - it's been about 30 years since I looked at these! Looking at them again there are several possible bapts, some of which I can rule out.
