Would someone help me in finding a Robert Pearson born 1904 in Sheffield along with his Parents.

Did he have any brothers and sisters?

It could I suppose be the one indicated below but do you know anything more about the person.

EDIT:

Possibly not as that one's birth was registered as John Robert as opposed to:

Births Mar 1904
Pearson Robert Sheffield 9c 732

I cannot spot that one in the 1911 census.

Jonsey,

I note some family names in the cesus return. Do you know if the father was born in Huddersfield ?

Thanks for finding this for me. Nala.

Jonsey.

I have a cousin in Canada. Robert Pearson born 1940 in Canada.

He has vague memories of his fathers (Robert) birthplace.

I am trying to narrow it down.

Huddersfield is another suggestion of a birthplace now.

I am told that his birthdate is 21/6/1905 now. Nala

Getting back to the Robert Pearson that Maddie found in Sheffield in the 1911. I notice that alongside him there is a Beatrice Pearson aged 11. There were 2 Beatrice Pearson births registered in Sheffield 1899/1900.

I wonder whether Robert and Beatrice were siblings either abandoned or Orphaned. Since the Robert Nala is enquiring about turned up in Canada I wonder whether he was sent there as a "Home child".
