Marie Perera notes:
We don't know a great deal about them however Eugenie came back to NZ for Mum's wedding in 1947, Christchurch.
(Margaret Mary McCormack & John Alexander Perera, Eugenie being Mums auntie.

Eugenie and Joseph Pearson lived in Chatswood.

Their children were Arthur Pearson and David Pearson.

We know Arthur was a pilot in RAAF, death date unknown.

We had a family holiday to Sydney in 1961 and we visited Joe, David and his wife Kath.

Unable to find data on David and Kath wedding date.

In the cemetery search I have taken Joseph 'B' to be Barton.

It is unknown if David and Kathleen had children.

Noted events in her life were:

• Baptism, 11 Mar 1883, Hokitika, Ross Parish, Westland, West Coast New Zealand.

Eugenie married James Gunn in 1902. (James Gunn was born circa 1880.)

Eugenie next married Josef (Joe) Barton Pearson, son of Joseph Pearson and Elizabeth Barton, in 1919 in Sydney, NSW Australia.⁵⁴ (Josef (Joe) Barton Pearson was born in 1885 in Ravenswood, Dunedin, Otago New Zealand ⁸⁵ and died in 1968 in St Leonards, Sydney, NSW Australia.)
