Yes I meant get Dorothy's birth cert for her actual birth date :-)

This must mean Gladys had 2 brothers who died very young before she was born. Shirley do you mean Dorothy's birth certificate?

(below perhaps relate)

(Passenger arrivals index, 1898-1966)

(are they on above?, use Record Seach)


(could then perhaps be found on Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960)

(the D Pearson arrival 'Orbita' 1946, left UK as Perason. Royal Navy)

If you buy her birth cert you will have her actual birth date which may help with trying to find her

Use the GRO ref shown and order from

www.gro.gov.uk. They cost £9.25 inc postage

I am hopeless. I only saw your post just now.
I will take a look now at the link.
Thanks.

Look for Dorothy's birth registration here:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

She was born in 1921.

Í have started a family tree on here.

Hi, thank you all for your help. Sorry i havn't replied earlier, but i sent that message before i left work. I am in Sydney Australia. I have just read all your replies now.
I think her name was Dorothy, and possibly born in 1921. She did stay in the UK. My Dad got a letter from her not long after he came to Australia, but they had no more communication.
Unfortunately we dont have that letter.
My fathers brother was Raymond. My father died 18 years ago, and it was never really talked about, his childhood.
All i and my 2 brothers know is what we were told when we were young, is that they were brought up in an orphanage in Leicester.

Welcome to the Community boards Neil.



(I'll let Neil know how to find his replies) :-)

Well, that cuts the choice down to Dorothy and Glenice.

Don't see marriages conclusively for either of them, at least not in Leicestershire.

Do you know where the orphanage was, where your father was brought up, Neil? Was it in Leicestershire?

This one also died in 1935:

Births Sep 1935 :
PEARSON Lilian K Pearson Leicester 7a 250

Rose

Rule out this one as she died in 1938:

Births Sep 1920
Pearson Nora M Pearson Leicester 7a 530

Rose

There are three other possibilities as well, Malyon - unless you have some reason for picking Dorothy in particular?

We need Neil to come back to us.

is your aunt called Dorothy your father's sister


Births Sep 1921 (>99%)

Pearson Dorothy Pearson Leicester 7a 577

What is/was your father's sister's name, Neil?

Between 1920 and 1943 (I searched 1911-47) there were 6 Pearson children born in Leicester, with mother's surname Pearson. Four of these were girls.
