Can anyone out there help me find the maiden name of my Grt grandmother.
Her married name was ADA PEARSON. She was born c1873 in Northants.
Ada married Charles Pearson of Banbury Oxfordshire in c1892.
My Granma Mabel Pearson was their first child born in 1894.
Most grateful for any help .... Jilli F

Hi Jilli, you're possibly going to need to get her marriage certificate to find that, or the birth certificate of one of her children.

Have you traced any records in FreeBMD?

This is one possible:-

Name: PEARSON, Charles
Registration District: Northampton
County: Northamptonshire
Year of Registration: 1892
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume No: 3B
Page No: 185

One of the females on the page is Ada Mary Garner.

Is this the right birth for your grandmother (pm from Gillian said her grandmother was Mabel Rose Pearson):-

Did Mabel have a much younger brother?

I think from MarieCeleste's finding she has to be Ada Mary Garner.

I think you are right MadBull, and I think the 1911 census found is the right one too, but the birth certificate of Mabel Rose would be the best way to be 100% certain.

Big thanks for all your replies. Garner was the name I was looking for.
I remembered a distant cousin from my childhood with quite an unusual name, so I pulled up his birth cert. and low and behold his mothers maiden name was Garner, thus confirming I was on the right track.
Really impress with the prompt help from you all, believe me "Ill be back".
Thanks again Jilli.
