Thanks for the information. I was interested to see William Hiram Abiff Chadwick`s name on the list. Jane Elizabeth Pearson had an brother William Hiram Abiff Pearson b <1859> (Wigton)but who died 18th Oct, 1864 (Wigton). There father was William Pearson b 1827 (Wigton) (His Father Thomas & Mother Mary Brougham). William who married Elizabeth Armstrong had a younger brother Hiramabiff Pearson b 1838. Hiramabiff Pearson <1838> married Margaret Elizabeth Looneys and I have traced them up to the 1871 census. (Living in Liverpool) After that I cannot find them. I did wonder if they emigrated ? 1841 Census. New Street, Wigton, Cumberland. Thomas Pearson Age 45 Parish Clerk Born England Cumberland. Mary Pearson Age 45 Born England Cumberland.
