  • Notes 
    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. This child is a result of LDS name extraction and is not a child that has been traditionally linked with this family; however, the parentage and location shows this to be the same family. Traditionally, this individually has been known as Mary Charlton, b. about 1810. The christening record shows Mary/Maria was actually born in 1800 which makes more sense since a marriage record exists for 1820 as noted below.

      2. Censuses:
      1841 Eng: District 8, Allendale, Northumberland, England, p. 5 of 14, place: Pathfoot, has the following family which appears to be this family due to the age of Maria, a marriage abt 1820, and a son named Charlton, and Mary being born in Bywell per 1851 census:
      Robert Pearson, 45, miner, b. in county.
      Mary, 40, b. in county.
      John, 20, miner, b. in county.
      Thomas, 15, b. in county.
      Robert, 15, b. in county.
      Charlton, male, 10, b. in county.
      William, 5, b. in county.
      Pricill, fem., 5, b. in county.
      Mary, 2, b. in county.

      1851 Eng: District 2, Allendale, Northumberland, p. 32 of 37, #147, residence at Path Foot (Thomas Pearson, age 28 and his family live right next door):
      Robert Pearson, 57, gardener and innkeeper, b. Northumberland, Allendale.
      Mary, wife, 50, b. Northumberland, Bywell.
      Charlton, son, unmd., 21, lead ore miner, b. Northumberland, Allendale.
      William, son, unmd., 17, lead ore miner, b. Northumberland, Allendale.
      Mary, dau., 11, b. Northumberland, Allendale.

      1861 Eng: District 7, Allendale, Northumberland, p. 14 of 32, #77, residence at Path Foot:
      Robert Pearson, 68, gardener and innkeeper, b. Northumberland, Allendale.
      Mary, wife, 61, b. Northumberland, Allendale.
      Mary, dau., 23, b. Northumberland, Allendale, dressmaker.
      Pricilla, gd. dau., 13, b. Northumberland, Allendale. [Probably dau. of Thomas Pearson since in the 1851 census, there is a dau. of this name aged 1.]

      1871 Eng: Census showing husband in Allendale indicates he is a widower.

      CHRISTENING:
      1. Online Ordinance Index has the following extracted record (Film printout 6905793, film source 825352, dates 1795-1840, batch C133391) which gives Maria Charlton, b. 27 Nov 1800 to Thomae Charlton and Elizabethae Ferguson and christened 29 Nov 1800 at Minsteracres Roman Catholic, Bywell Saint Peter, Northumberland, England.

      2. From my visit to the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn on Jun 2009, I reviewed the book "Mieroplan Minsteracres Roman Catholic Chapel Baptisms 1795-1840" which had the following entry in latin: Maria Charlton, b. 27 Nov 1800, dau. of Thoma and Elisabetha Charlton, maiden name Ferguson, godmother: Catharina Newton.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Online Ordinance Index FHL film batch M109171, extracted marriage record: Robert Pearson and Mary Charlton, 7 Oct 1820 Hexham, Northumberland, England.

      DEATH:
      Ancestry.com's England FreeBMD Index notes an death entry first quarter of 1868 for a Mary Pearson, b. abt 1801, d. in Hexham District, Northumberland. Allendale is part of the Hexham District and so this is most likely this Mary Pearson. The index is designed to assist the British GRO office locate her death certificate for ordering purposes in vol. 10b, p. 175.
