I am looking for information on Richard John Pearson. He came from a Ship building Family from Thorne, Nr. Doncaster, Yorkshire. He was a merchant and probably a ship owner like his father. We think he married an Isabella Gibson and had a son Richard William Pearson who was born about 1872 and died in Hamburg in 1916.

I would love to find out more on this side of my family and how I go about finding information from German record sites.
