I have tried to find a WW1 record for him but no luck.

Maddie, does that Service Record have a discharge date?

I wonder if James was also in the army? If so, and he served abroad that would explain not being able to find John on the census.

Hi,
Please can anyone help me find the parents and family of John Pearson.
The 1911 census says that John Pearson (c1868) was born in Walmgate,York.This is the only census where I can find him.I have his marriage certificate which states that his father was James Pearson an engine fitter and turner.John's marriage to Annie Elizabeth Munday was in 1892 and states that his age was 24 years.
I know this is a long shot but you have come up trumps in the past.
Regards
Wendy
