The Pearman family, Poplar 1841
 

George Pearman, a barge builder, and Sarah had several children in London:
Sarah b 1809 Lambeth
George b 1811 St Alphege, Greenwich
And, all in Poplar:
Susannah 1813
John 1815 (died 1839)
Eliza 1818
Elizabeth 1821
Jane 1824

I don’t know what happened to the children George or Sarah

Eliza married Charles Thomas Smith, a waterman, 3 September 1840. They gave their address as Brunswick Street. I can find them from 1841 onwards

Elizabeth married William Knighton 29 October 1843. They gave their address as 6 Denmark Street and the witnesses were Jane and her future husband George Myner.

Susanna and Jane both married 24 August 1845 from 16 Denmark Street and Wliiliam Knighton was a witness to each

Susanna married Robert Waters and Jane George Myner. In 1851, they are all living at 20 Blackwall.

None of the marriages describe George as deceased, but I think he was. The mother Sarah went to live with her daughter Elizabeth. Baptisms and burials say no more than “Poplar”, so I only have the three addresses above.

Somewhere on the 1841 census there should be Sarah Pearman b circa 1786, Susannah, Elizabeth and Jane. Can anyone spot them?

I've found Sarah. She married Thomas Cannon and they are living at 28 Blackwall in 1841. He was a fisherman.

For the record, here is their marriage:

Thanks, Kat. All the girls could well be in service at that age.
