It doesn't really help any but if you look again at the image from 1911, you will see that John was actually born c 1868, NOT 1862 !!

He is 43 (not 49) - compare the 3 in Helen's age and the 3 in the address - they are very strange but they are 3's

Hi Dea
I have worked through the 1901 census putting in children's christian names with dates and place of birth in case I had missed a weird misspelling of Pearson but that brought no joy.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered the marriage certificate of John Pearson to Annie Elizabeth Munday.I will let you know when I have it.
Wendy

They just do not seem to exist under that name before 1911!!!!!........... dratt!!!

BUT their births were registered as Pearson!

I really do not understand this !

That cert is your only hope Wendy!

Do let us know when you get it.

I agree Kucinta that two same couples make it difficult but the 1911 says my two have been married for 20 years so Annie Elizabeth Munday seems the best bet fingers crossed.
Wendy

Hello every one thanks for all your hard work .I will do as you say Jonesy and order a certificate.
Wendy

Doesn't help having two John Pearsons both living in Battersea, in census 1911 and both with a wife called Annie Elizabeth!

Not having any joy at all regarding John Pearson on earlier census records I'm afraid.

This could be the person who became his wife in 1891 although her birth year out a bit on the census.

Name: Annie Munday
Age: 24
Estimated birth year: abt 1867

I can only suggest taking a gamble and buying a copy of the marriage certificate in the hope that it may provide some clues as to John Pearson's background.

According to census 1911 there was a fifth child, stll living.
