Re: Pearson and Gelling families

The Eunice Pearson will :Petn by dau Eliz Pearson, late of Carlise but now of Malew[tho that may be just a temporary stay in Castletown whilst recovering debts]states that mother d some years ago leaving a will dated 15 Apr 1802 but proved Carlisle 14 Jan 1820 - Will states widow, late of Carlisle;mentions property in Castle St Carlisle;ch Elizabeth Pearson(exex), Henry;
In petn Elizth stated needed Manx admin to recover debts but does not specify these but states mother was entitled to certain premises.
Eunice would appear to be Eunice Burton who married Samuel Pearson Braddan 17610602 - I found no ch to them in Manx Records - neither name is Manx and 1761 was just before the 1765 revestment which saw many non-Manx merchants leave the Island as the running trade (smuggling) was severely curtailed
