Hi Mary Lou, Thanks for looking but I don't think they are a match. The Pearey's I am aware of don't tend to be active in the York and Easingwold area until the late 1800s and instead tend to be concentrated around the Stokesley, Great Ayton and Guisborough areas. It hasn't helped my search with the surname sounding similar to the Parry and Perry names although I have also found Pearey spelt Peree, Peiry and Piery. Thanks again Graham
