  1. 1841 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire.
    1851 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire.
    Marriagae date from an Ancestry.com Family Tree
  2. 1841 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire.
    1851 Upper Hardway, Alverstoke, Hampshire.
    So could it be that TUSON was the mothers maiden name. (I have now been told the maiden name was HUNTER)
  3. Birth date from an Ancestry.com Family Tree
    IGI baptism
    Death date from an Ancestry.com Family Tree
  4. Birth date from an Ancestry.com Family Tree
  5. IGI baptism
    There is a lot of information for the name Tuson SEARLES on the Web, it would appear that the family came from Devon and there is a line that continues in Australia, I feel there must be a link with the family above ass well. (I am now told by Jerry SEHLKE that:- Mary Ann Hunter Searles and Tuson Searles are 1st cousins 1 time removed. I have been working with his decedents in Australia to piece things together.
  6. IGI baptism
    On a Family Tree on Ancestry details of the family of John are shown, but having looked at various messages on Ancestry etc from the Jerry below I have a doubt about this being the correct John, but it must have been a John who went to the USA as he is the only male SEARLES on the chart above
  7. 1850 US Census - Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. I think Isabella was with her brother and family in the US on this Census.
    1861 Census - Green Road, Alverstoke, Hampshire. Isabella aged 40 is the Head of Household. She has a servant with her a Harriet BAILEY aged 17 born Fareham, Hampshire and also the following, a Frederick BARNES aged 10 a Nephew born Middlesex, a Charles PEARSON aged 2 Nephew born Hardway, Hampshire and an Elizabeth PEARSON aged 1 Niece born Hardway, Hampshire.
    1871 Census - 11 Grange Street, Portsea, Hampshire. With the family was a Elizabeth J (possibly a T) PEARSON, niece, aged 11 born Alverstoke, Hampshire, a Scholar
    IGI baptism
  8. 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. This Mary on the 1851 Census is down as daughter, but married with the name RICHARDSON.
    1861 21 East Street, Portsmouth Town, Portsmouth, Hampshire. (Down as ARLIS on this Census) I think Paul had been married before as there is a Mary as a daughter aged 12 born Portsmouth, Hampshire, there is also a Servant down as Martha aged 13 with the same surname. (I cannot make sense of the occupation given).  Then there are the two children that are on the 1871 Census Paul and Elizabeth as 2 and 1
    1871 Llandyfodwg, Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales. I think that Mary married again, she is down on this Census as Mary Alice, correct age and born in Hardway, Hampshire. The marriage I have found in 1854, a year after her first husbands death is for a Mary Ann (not Alice) but is to a Paul ARTIY (not ARTIS) but it is in Alverstoke, so I think it is too close not to be correct. There were two children on the 1871 Census, James Paul ARTIS aged 12 and Elizabeth aged 11 both Scholars and both born in Portsmouth, Hampshire. 
    1881 43 Harrison Street, Barrow in Furness, Lancashire. Her children, James aged 22 a Joiner and Elizabeth aged 20 born Portsmouth, Hampshire are with her so although she is down as being born in Stoke, Hampshire, not Hardway I am certain this is the correct person.
    IGI baptism
    On the 1841 Census there are two James RICHARDSON's in Alvertstoke, one born in 1813 and one in 1815 neither are with families, so no clue which is the correct one.
    IGI baptism
  9. 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 SEHLKE 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 after Isabelle passed away as Joseph's tried to "force" her to marry him when she turned of age.  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.
