John Swift PEARS - Jane and Abraham's first child
John Swift PEARS was christened on 02 August 1840 in the village of Jane and Abraham's first home at North Newbald. He died in Hull in the first quarter of 1865 at the age of 25 (GRO ref: Hull 9d 169), the family home being Holy Trinity, Hull since the 1851 census. It is possible that he wasn't married or had children.

Transcription error - Cabb for Caleb or his "known name".
There is no obvious record of Caleb Crompton in the 1891 or 1911 census in either Ancestry or Find My Past.
Elizabeth PEARS died in the fourth quarter of 1895 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 148) aged 53 years. Caleb Crompton PEARS died in the fourth quarter of 1910 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 130).
Caleb and Elizabeth PEARS' children
There are discrepancies between the 1881 census and the registration dates. The National Archives, in a webinar on 08 January 2022, explained that there were transcription errors, enumerator errors and poor mathematics when calculating ages for years of birth, with the exception of Esther Jane PEARS.
Elizabeth Johnson PEARS - Caleb and Elizabeth's first child
Elizabeth JOHNSON, the eldest child listed in the 1881 census, is assumed to be the daughter of Elizabeth PEARS who, being born out of wedlock, has taken her mother's maiden name. Elizabeth was born in the first quarter of 1860 (GRO ref: Scarborough 9d 297). However, the GRO record of births for the first quarter of 1868, show an Edmund Johnson PEARS, in Scarborough, which suggests that she was actually Elizabeth Johnson PEARS, and this was a transcription error or the enumerator didn't have room for both the Christian and surname names.

The question has to be asked as to why this census entry is so imprecise? Why is Caleb Crompton PEARS listed as C.C. and Edmund as Edw when Edmund was 34 years old at the time of the census. Why hasn't a 34 year old no occupation? Why is Alathea Viney's birth been recorded as Not Known, unless this was a genuine case?
Swann Street extends to the River Hull and appears to be a light industrial area, probably rebuilt after the World War II bombing.
Esther Jane PEARS - Caleb and Elizabeth's second child
Esther Jane was born on 03 August 1866 (1939 Register and GRO ref: Scarborough 9d 302). She married James ATKINSON in the second quarter of 1889 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 283). James Oats ATKINSON was born in the second quarter of 1868 (GRO ref: Hull 9d 205).

John Swift PEARS, aged 35 and a miller by trade, departed for Quebec, Canada, as a steerage passenger, arriving there on 17 May 1913 on the RMS Virginian bound for Toronto, Ontario. The passenger list also records that he wasn't [medically] examined. His religion was defined as S.A. [Salvation Army?] rather than CofE and that he was to follow a different indecipherable trade in Canada. 1 However, the 1945 Canadian Voters List still records his trade as a miller. 2

| The R.M.S. Virginian, run by the Allan Line, sailed from Liverpool to Quebec. She
was built at the Belfast shipyard of Workman, Clark, & Co. in 1904, and was the first
of two passenger liners crossing the Atlantic to be powered by steam turbines. Her
maiden voyage from Liverpool to St. John, New Brunswick, began on April 6, 1905. On
subsequent voyages, she ran the Liverpool to Quebec line for which she had been built.

It would appear that John Swift's wife and children sailed as steerage passengers on a different vessel - the SS Manchester Commerce departing from Manchester on 5 May 1913 bound for Quebec and onwards to Toronto. Annie E is recorded as being 30 years old, Walter B 9 and Annie E 2. They were all CofE. 3
Annie is recorded as making several crossings of the Atlantic. 4
The house and frequent Atlantic crossings suggest an affluence in Canada.
Walter Bernard PEARS - James Swift and Annie's first child
James and Annie's first child was born in 1904 and married Hannah Jane RANKIN on 25 December 1929 in St John's Church, York, Ontario. Hannah Jane was born on 30 October 1909 in Portrush, County Antrim. She arrived in Quebec, Canada on 27 April 1924.
The Canadian Votes List records for Toronto:
Walter Bernard died in 1976 and Hannah on 24 November 1991 to be buried in Etobicoke, Toronto Municipal Cemetery along with Walter who preceded her.
Alice Maud PEARS- James Swift and Annie's second child married George S MITCHAM a mechanic, also English by birth, arriving in Canada in 1911.

Marjorie PEARS - James Swift and Annie's third child
James and Annie's third child was conceived in the UK, but was born on 29 August 1913 in Toronto, whilst John Swift was a labourer living at Lavinia Street, Swansea, Toronto. On 11 April 1933 she married Philip Jerry ROSENBERG in York Town, Toronto who was born on 02 April 1912, as a Jew, in Skaryazew, Poland. 9 He was living, as student, at 229 Beverley Ward, Toronto with his widowed father and family 10
The Canadian Votes List records for Toronto:
| It is interesting to note that the swift family, originating in Kingston-upon-Hull
in the UK chose to live in the High Park and High park - Swansea area of Toronto,
Ontario. This is approximately 1km from the Humber River.

End notes:
Alice Agnes PEARS - Caleb and Elizabeth's eighth child
It is possible that Alice Agnes PEARS was born in the fourth quarter of 1879 (GRO ref: Scarborough 9d 349). However this is recorded as PEARSE in the Civil Registration of Births Index. Alice died in the second quarter of 1881 aged 1 (GRO ref: Scarborough 9d 221).

There is no obvious record of her death.
Edmund PEARS - Jane and Abraham's fourth child
Edmund was christened on 16 January 1846 in Great Driffield. There is no obvious GRO reference.
James PEARS - Jane and Abraham's fifth child
James PEARS was christened on 15 September 1848 at Nafferton being born at Wansford south of Nafferton. It is possible that he died in Hull in the third quarter of 1857 (GRO ref: Hull 9d 145), which had been the family home since the 1851 census. This would suggest he wasn't married and had no children.
