I think that Charles was on a Vessel at Portsmouth on the 1861 Census. His children were not with him as they were with his late wifes Aunt, Isabella. and the Charles on this Census born about 1824 is down as a widower. No other Charles PEARSON fits the position like this one. 1841 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire. 1851 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire. Why were they both names Mary, they appear on the IGI baptisms and the 1851 Census as such, so must be correct. On 11th October 2009 I had an email from a Jerry as follows: Isabella Searles was my 2nd great grand aunt; Elizabeth Tuson (Pearson) Searles was my great grandmother. I believe that there is a mistake in the census - the "J" probably should be a "T" for Tuson. Elizabeth Tuson Pearson was Charles M PEARSON's sister, and they were living with their Aunt Isabella and uncle Joseph after their mother (~1861) and father (~1866) passed away . Their parents were Charles Reid and Mary Ann Hunter (Searles) Pearson. Mary Ann Hunter Searles was Isabella's youngest sister. Our family oral history has it that Elizabeth took a teaching position and moved out of the house and then left England for the US when Joseph's tried to "force" Elizabeth to marry him. She emigrated to the US and we believe that she stayed with some of her Searles relatives in Cambridge Mass. before moving west and meeting/marrying my great grandfather William George Searles in Nebraska in 1882. She died in 1899 at Roach Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington State, USA, at the time she was the superintendent of schools for San Juan Island County.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
