Hi Bob, What a surprize for me. My name is Lindsay Pearson and I live in Brisbane, Australia. About 17 years ago I went to Woodchuch to trace family connections and to visit the village that my ancestors came from. I visited the local church and spoke to some of the locals who put me in touch with Rosa Bourne. Rosa was the church warden and was most helpful allowing me to view the church records. As it turned out we found a connection between the Pearson and Bourne families. We became good friends and corresponded (albeit only at Chrisrmas with cards and letters) for many years. I recieved a card from Rosa every year for the past 17 years until 2 years ago. I thought that strange and my cards were not reciprocated or returned so I lost contact. Rosa liveds at 10 Brattle, Woodchurch. I would really like to contact her again even if it just to say hello. As for the family connection: if you want any info on the Pearson mob I would be happy to oblige. The Pearson family came to Australia in 1838. One day I would like to get back to Woodchurch.

Dear Lindsay Rosa is still alive and kicking. Her grandmother, Rosa Fullagar, and my great grandfather Henry Fullagar were siblings. She was still churchwarden when I last saw her but as she is in her late 70's she is trying to retire. Her address is; Miss Rosa Bourne 23 Brattle Estate Woodchurch Kent TN26 3SW 01233-860523 Have you given details to Josie Mackie of your family emigating in 1838?
