Does anyone have any information about Patrick, his wife and family, occupation,address etc ?
He is named on the Marriage Certificate of my Great Grandfather James Pearson (age 21) who married Ann Thornton (Age 18) on 26/10/1889 in the County of Durham. James father was William Pearson an Engineer, any information regarding any of these encestors would be a great help.
Regards <3

Try looking for Ann with her family in 1871 and 1881.

Both censuses are FREE and in full on familysearch site.

Ditto for James

ADDED

Unlikely, as in 1881 there is no child named Ann living with the family

There's this Patrick, who's a retired coal miner, widowed, and living with his mother Ann, in 1891.
Too old to be a brother of James's wife, but maybe an uncle??

If the births posted by Yvonne are the right family, then the 1871 and 1881 censuses posted earlier are her family.

But don't know where Anna is in 1881

Not sure about the 1891. Same street and names, but wrong ages.

Looks good, Gins!

That would fit with the 1871 & 1881 censuses.

Perhaps Ann's in Ireland in 1881, visiting relatives there.

AG

Yes, I thought she may be in Ireland

Buddy frustrating !!

No help with Ann(a), but this will be Patrick's brother Owen:
