Hello Christine, Lesley and everyone who have been so helpful, My Joseph
Pearson was born c 1782 so his parents John and Ann would probably have
married before his birth and I can't find them at all.
I am still having a problem with Find my Past. Ruth has found my Alice
Sigley(Shrigley) baptism c1770 with her parents William and Elizabeth, in
Cheadle, Cheshire, and the Churchwarden named as Joseph Higham, and I have
looked at both the BTs baptisms and the Parish Record baptism and I am still
unable to find it, so I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea
what that is.
Alice married John Riding and their daughter Elizabeth married Thomas
Higham, whose father was Joseph Higham, so possibly the Churchwarden at
Alice's baptism was Thomas' father, if not it seems a great coincidence.
Christine all my Pearson family seem to be from the Alderley, Prestbury and
Macclesfield area
I do hope that someone can set me right about Find My Past as this is so
frustrating.
Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to help.
Regards Lilian

Hi Lilian,
I think Lesley has a couple of typos in her reply. And there are a lot of
John PEARSON - Ann marriages. I have PEARSONs in Wilmslow and the
surrounding area but cannot tie in to your Joseph at present.
My earliest is Henry, b c 1779, lived Morley, Cheshire. There are 2
potential baptisms for him, one in Macclesfield and one in Marple but I am
not inclined to to believe either as there is a DNA link to an earlier
Wilmslow family. I think it more likely that he wasn't baptised / the record
got lost / the records are not online. But I could be wrong.
I would love to hear if you find any connection.
Christine

I have also been trying to knock down another of my brick
walls in
Cheshire - I have the baptism of Joseph Pearson in 1782 his father is John
and mother Ann, however I haven't been able to find a marriage for them, so
again any help would be most welcome.
