How Do.My name is Bill Pearson, known as David when I lived in Salford. I am searching for 2 people, my grandfather William Pearson who disapeared soon after ther birth of his second son John Henry Pearson in 1913-14. According to family story John Henry was lost overboard when the sampan overturned in the China Sea on the way back to the ship. I don't know if he was Royal or Merchant. Cheers Bill .

Hi Bill,
Welcome to the forum.
Was William Pearson from Salford? I have checked CWGC with out success so death was probably before the war. If he was from Salford I could check the local papers for any information.
You wrote that you are searching for 2 people. Who was the second person?

Doh, I get it now!
You are looking for information on William Pearson who disappeared around 1913/14 and information on John Henry Pearson who was lost in the China Sea. Do you know what year John Henry died?
