Hi Teresa.

You have completely lost me.

How does Ada Maria Pearson Driver come into this??

Ada Maria Pearson was born c1822 in Jamaica.

But you are asking about Sarah born abt 1818 West Indies, the wife of William Pearson from Derbyshire.

What is the connection??

You said that Sarah who married William Pearson was your great-great-grandmother.

Now we have Ada Maria Pearson born abt 1822 in Jamaica, who married John Driver, being your great-great-grandmother.

Unless William Pearson born in Derbyshire had a sister Ada Maria Pearson born in Jamaica, which seems doubtful, I'm not seeing a possible connection. Even then, that would mean you had two great-great-grandparents who were siblings.

I'm completely lost. This search for the person married to William Pearson wasn't just a wild goose chase, was it?

In any case, you can find out for certain who she was by getting the birth certificate of her son John Pearson. You might have to get more than one John Pearson birth certificate to find the right one, but there shouldn't be a problem identifying it once you get it.

That will give the answer to your question of who Sarah was, and it's about the only thing that will.

hi janey canuck

Still not making sense. You said Ada Pearson was born about 1822 in Jamaica. William Pearson and Sarah could not have had a daughter born in 1822.

Are you talking about the Maria Pearson who was in their household in 1851, born about 1837?

Teresa, have you read what I've said?

You are looking for the birth name of Sarah who married William Pearson.

** If you get the birth certificate of their son John ** who was born in England in abt 1856, it will give you her name.

hi janey , yes you are right , sometimes on the census she was ada or maria, which was confusing me, ive written down what you have told me , thanks again
