Ann, Wife, Marr
Benjamin, Son, 52, Brick Setter, b Quarry Bank
Mary, Sons wife, 54, b Gornal
Rest born Kingswinford (some of the ages are crossed through and difficult to read)

William Pearson, Head, 64?, Bricklayer
Susan, Wife, 61
George Saunders, gr.son, 9, Scholar
Kate Jewell?, Dau, 20, Single, Dress Maker, b Brierley Hill
Rest born Kingswinford
(think Kate Jewell(?) is in same house - she is on the next page

Matilda Pearsons baptism was 5 Jul 1840, Brierley Hill

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

Matildas father was bapt 4 Jan 1807, Brierley Hill, s of Daniel Pearson & Hannah (Smithyman - m 13 Oct 1806, Halesowen).

The family are already on BCC here:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... son-Family

I have baptisms for 13 children (all Brierley Hill), which fit with the children on BCC:
Joseph 1807
Daniel 1808
Mary 1810
Henry 1812
Phoebe 1817
Maria 1817
John 1818
Benjamin 1820
Thomas 1820
David 1823
Daniel 1824
Daniel 1827
William 1827
Where there are two bapts in the same year one is near start of year and other one near end of year - not sure whether they really had two children born in same year or simply had a previous child bapt once the next one was due!

I think the William b1827 may be the one living next door to Joseph b1807 in the census posted above (ie Josephs brother) - but where was he in 1841, as he is not on the census with his parents (he would have been about 14).

They do connect to me, but not my direct Pearson line (although I can take them back further).
There are loads of connections, including one of them marrying a Round descended from Isaac Round/ Martha Shakespeare - so they connect to us as well!
If I remember correctly there are Attwood, Parkes, Smithyman connections among others - I know some of the families are on BCC, would just need connecting up.
