The Pearsons of Tyldesley : a northern heritage of cotton and coal
Pearson, Tony
Book
This is the history of a prominent family living around the Lancashire town of Tyldesley from the 1880s to the present day. Charting the family's migration from roots in 18th-century Derbyshire and Staffordshire, the book details how Pearson ancestors came to settle in Tyldesley and traces collateral family connections. More than just a family tree, the narrative focuses on the wider social, economic and political currents influencing genealogy since the Industrial Revolution. It tells a story of ordinary lives shaped by the coal and cotton industries once such monolithic features of Northern England's industrial landscape.
