Hi:

I'm researching my husband's family tree. He is Robert Flynn from Colinet, Newfoundland. His father was Douglas Flynn (Jr) of Placentia, (1942-1989), son of Doug Flynn Sr, (1907-1982) originally from Petit Forte, who married Mary Kerrivan (1904-1988). Doug Sr. is the son of Patrick Flynn of Petit Forte + Mary Pearson.

I've been able to find information on Mary Kerrivan's family but information on the Flynn or Pearson side seems to be a lot more rare.

I would appreciate any help at all any one can offer.

Sincerely

Kay

PS. Doug Jr married Elizabeth (Betty) Downey who still lives in Colinet...

Hi
Robert Flynn would be my second cousin, once removed. Mary Ann Pearson, who married Paddy Joe Flynn, was my grand aunt. She is the daughter of William Patrick(Bill Pad) Pearson(1850 - ) of Paradise and Mary Ann Hayes(1854 - , of Petite Forte.

I have Bill Pad as the son of Thomas Pearson of Ulster, Ireland. Mary Ann is the daughter of James(Jimmy) Hayes(1831 - 1898) of Kent, England and Ellen(Nellie) ?. Jimmy is the son of John Hayes of Kent, England.

Hi

I have seen this information before.
http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.pearson/2053/mb.ashx
William Pearson and Mary Ann Hayes are my great grandparents, and William Brown and Mary Ann Penney are my great grandparents. My problem has been connecting these two sets of ancestors to the others on this website. Maybe someone can help me here.

For example, who was the Johanna Pearson who married Michael Ryan? In addition, how does William Pearson(Mary Ann Hayes) connect with either Thomas Pearson(Bridget Flynn) or John Pearson(Mary Dwyer)?
