I am trying to track down the parents & siblings of Ann Pearson b 1837 Dudley. She married John Heathcock in 1855 (from BMD index) and they lived in the Holly Hall / Pensnett road area. I have a few likely contenders in the 1841 & 51 census but nothing anywhere near concrete. There will be a link to Titus Pearson b 1844 and william Pearson b 1841 both who travelled to USA with Anns son John in 1882 and were described as "cousins" in later letters and also lived in Pensnett Road. Does any of this ring any bells with anyone .....I should be so lucky Any help would be appreciated, I have very little on this name at all
