Re the fbmd 1848 birth that Names mentioned, Medway RD covering both Rochester and Chatham, and that birth also tallying with age in 1871 ( though maybe 27 got mistranscribed as 22 when the numerator collated the household forms)...

GRO has mmn BISSELL for that birth.

Have not found a Pearson- Bissell marriage to rule this birth in or out.

Can anyone find a marriage with groom named Joseph or George Pearson, or definitely named somthing else?

According to freebmd there is a birth in Medway (covers Rochester) for a William Edward Pearson in 1848

Thanks namelessone I have tried to find a birth for him but can't. HIs Fathers name is either George or Joseph Pearson depending on which marriage cert you look at. Probably A transcription error.

As for looking at the trees on Ancestry I will have to wait until I can get to the library to do that.

Thats again for your help

Jane

Looks like they may be in Plumstead with william stating he wa born in Rochester. See the trees on Ancestry.

Please can you see if you can find William Edward Pearson b c1844 in Kent ? Chatham
His wife Elizabeth was born Westminster Middlesex

Children include
William Edward Pearson b c1844 Chatham
Louise Pearson b c1870 Plumstead
Thomas born b c1871 Plumsted Kent

I have then on the 1881 and 1891

Thanks
Jane
