A favour please !

I would like someone to locate a Walter and Annie Pearson in Sheffield in the 1911 Census
Walter would be age 38 and Annie 25

From the Free BMD site they were married in the September qtr of 1904

I have been given a Walter and Annie at 301 Staniforth Road.
Although Walters age is given as 38, Annie's age is given as 49 which appears to be incorrect
i.e. a birth certificate exists for her showing her date of birth as 18th of November 1886

Looking forward to a reply

There is a Walter and Annie Pearson living at 9 Court 5 Matthew Street Sheffield. Annie is aged 24 and Walter 36. There is also a son, also named Walter aged 5. Walter Snr occupation is cogger.

Hi Roger.

Was she Annie Stuart before marriage?

Angela

The Walter at Staniforth Road appears to be a Walter Gledhill Pearson. He signs the census W g Pearson. They were the only Walter and Annie I could find living in Sheffield he is down as engineering fitter and they have a daughter Adelaide who is 7.

I have sent you a copy of this marriage. Walter PEARSON and Annie STUART is this the family you are looking for?

Hi
The marriage of Walter Pearson and Annie Stuart was on 18 July at St Ann's Church, Netherthorpe.
Annie's father was William and Walter's father was Frederick.

This is Annie's baptism from this site

STUART, Annie (of Oakes Green, born 1886-11-18).
Baptised July 24, 1889, by G Depledge at Christ Church, Attercliffe.
Parents name(s) are Sarah & William (Labourer)

Walter's baptism
Pearson, Walter (of 20 Dun Fields, born ~).
Baptised March 21, 1877, by C R Killick at St Philips Church, Shalesmoor.
Parents name(s) are Mary Ann & Frederick (Roller).

I think the 1911 census that Claire found may be the correct one-
"There is a Walter and Annie Pearson living at 9 Court 5 Matthew Street Sheffield. Annie is aged 24 and Walter 36. There is also a son, also named Walter aged 5. Walter Snr occupation is cogger."

Walter junior's birth on the GRO index confirms mother's maiden name is Stuart
PEARSON, WALTER STUART

Hope this helps

We could do with a little feed back from Roger to see if any of us are on the right track.

The GRO index also confirms that this Pearson-Stuart marriage produced:
Ada born and died q3 1904
Charles born q2 1909, died q1 1911. His burial is on this site
Frederick born q1 1913
Alfred born q1 1916

Hi everyone and many thanks for your contributions

You will know has I have found with this, that when you offer to carry out research on someone's behalf i.e. wife's cousin in Australia, it can be hard work but enjoyable none the less !

Claire - your info looks good

Angela - thanks, info received and spot on

Sue Winter - doubtful there is a connection, but thanks

Sue S - thanks, looks good

Dave T - thanks, looks good

Roger

Oh what a shame Roger Mr Walter Gledhill Pearson seems to have quite a past. Always makes ancestors interesting if they make the newspapers!!!!

Hi Sue S

You kindly gave me the baptism date for Walter Pearson i.e. 21st March 1877
Have you his date of birth ?

Roger

Hi everyone, 2 Susan's especially

Many thanks for the information you have provided.
I must apologise for more than a few senior moments !
I am fully aware of the information provided on this site over to the left and really ought to have thought more and looked as I should have !

I am an intermittent researcher i.e. your patience please, could be a while before I get back on here with questions about what you have found for me.

This is correct for my family too, although my great grandfather William Henry was not with the family as he was in the Royal hospital as he had his arm severed in the rolling mills.
