I am searching for my grandfather William Pearson born 15th January 1880 7 Sandywell Greengate Salford. My Grandmother Ellen Pearson Nee Barrett remarried in 1914 and I can find no trace of him after that. Also I had an Uncle, John Henry Pearson born 1913 who died at sea, so I was told.
As the Pearson clan has many Williams & Johns and most of them came from the Greengate area of Salford it's not easy to trace relatives.

Hi Bill,
Welcome to the forum.
I am presuming the following details are correct?
Marriage:
1903 - PEARSON William BARRETT Ellen Salford St Simon Salford C27/18/248
1911 census:
Name: William Pearson
Age in 1911: 31
Estimated birth year: abt 1880
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Salford, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Salford
Search Photos: Search for 'Salford' in the UK City, Town and Village Photos collection
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Street address: 106 C Greengate Salford
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Labourer
Registration district: Salford

William Pearson 31
Ellen Pearson 28
William Pearson 3
Nelly Pearson 1
Grandmother's remarriage:
1914 - PEARSON Ellen CONNOR William Salford St Simon Salford C27/19/160
William does seem to drop off the radar after this census. As your Gran was remarried in 1914 I would have thought it unlikely that William was killed during the war. That said I still took a look and cannot find any likely matches. Can you confirm the details I have given are correct and I will try and look further.
