London baptisms don't have any record of that name, that date, St. Leonards Shoreditch.

Assume you realised my typo error- should be 1839 not 1939.

Barry, where did you get the exact baptism date? It doesn't show up on the London records.

Margee I could'nt find it on the London records either. There was a William Pearson born 1818 whose father was a Traveller.

Barry did you buy the marriage cert for William and Maria. If so what occupation was William's father in please?

From Seax for the 1859 marriage.

William's father was a Carpenter and Maria's father was a Church Clerk.

Thanks all. Sorry, unable to trace who told me baptism was 1/2/1839. Have a note
he was baptised St Leonards aged 1. Good to have occupations of William and Maria's fathers.Hope this may assist in further research.
