http://www.familysearch.orghttp://www.familysearch.org has the 1930 Census with Nels Pearson, age 47; Maria L. Pearson, age 52; Jeanette F. Pearson, age 17; and Cecilia Pearson, age 14.All resided together in Jamestown, Chautauqua County, New York.That Web site also has the 1920 Census with these same individuals residing in Jamestown.This Web site also has the Social Security Death Index with Cecelia M. Pearson (1 January 1916-21 August 1996) residing in Jamestown at time of death.
This suggests that Cecelia never married and Jeanette married and registered for Social Security under an unknown spouse's name.Social Security registrations were required for first employment beginning in 1935.
Request a genealogical copy of a marriage certificate for Jeanette F. Pearson from:
Registrar of Vital Statistics
Municipal Building
Jamestown, NY 14701

Alternatively, request that certificate from http://health.ny.gov/vital_recordshttp://health.ny.gov/vital_records.The first route is likely faster and cheaper.(Duplicate vital records are kept in local government offices and state archives.)
