Hi All,
Sorry for sending to multiple lists, but it appears that the details I have
found so far in Census records and BMD index's is inconsistent.
I am looking for help as I have hit a bit of a wall, and thought someone may
already have been here, or may be able to point me in a new direction.
Following my fathers line I have the following PEARCE/PIERCE's in Wales :
Descendants of Henry PEARCE - My 3rd great-grandfather
1 Henry PEARCE b: Abt. 1842 in Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire,
Wales d: Bet. 1871 - 1881
.. +Mary Ann MICHAEL b: Abt. 1845 in Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire,
Wales m: Bet. April - June 1862 in Bedwelty, Monmothshire, Wales
........ 2 Henry PEARCE b: Abt. 1862 in Aberystwyth,
Cardiganshire, Wales
............ +Hannah PRICE b: Abt. 1863 in Aberaman, Glamorgan,
Wales m: 02 February 1881 in Pontypridd, Wales
................... 3 Mary Hannah PEARCE b: Bet. April - June
1882 in Lon Ystrad, Glamorgan, Wales
................... 3 Thomas H PEARCE b: Abt. 1885 in
Ystraddyfodwg (Ystradyfodwg), Glamorgan, Wales
................... 3 Gwilym Christmas PEARCE b: Abt. March 1887
in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales d: Abt. March 1898 in Pontypridd,
Glamorgan, Wales
................... 3 Dinah E PEARCE b: Abt. 1890 in Lon Ystrad,
Glamorgan, Wales
................... 3 Annie PEARCE b: Abt. 1893 in Lon Ystrad,
Glamorgan, Wales
................... 3 James PEARCE b: Abt. 1900 in Lon Ystrad,
Glamorgan, Wales d: Abt. 1933
....................... +Mary ALLSOPP b: Abt. 1900 in Ystrad,
Glamorgan, Wales m: Bet. April - June 1918 in Pontypridd, Wales d:
1975
........ 2 Charles James PEARCE b: Abt. 1869 in Glamorgan,
Wales
........ 2 Mary A PEARCE b: Abt. 1871 in Glamorgan, Wales
........ 2 James PEARCE b: Abt. 1875 in Glamorgan, Wales
........ 2 George PEARCE b: Abt. 1876 in Glamorgan, Wales
........ 2 Sarah Jane PEARCE b: Abt. 1880 in Glamorgan,
Wales
The marriage record that I have found on FreeBMD for Henry PEARCE(1) and
Mary Ann MICHAEL is actually spelt PIERCE.
I have found them in the 1871 Wales Census lodging in Shipbuilders Row,
Aberystwith. (Spelt PIERCE)
I have found them again in the 1881 Wales Census living in Ton Row,
Ystradyfodwg. Mary at this point was a Widow. (Spelt PEARCE)
I have found Henry PEARCE (2) in the 1891 Wales Census living in 8 Church
Street, Ystradyfodwg (Spelt PIERCE)
I have found Henry PEARCE (2) in the 1901 Wales Census living at 8 Church
Street, Ystradyfodwg (Spelt PEARCE)
I have been trying to track down the birth and death records for both Henry
PEARCE (1) & Henry PEARCE(2), but have so far been unsuccessful in both
FreeBMD and 1837online.
I have not managed to find Henry PEARCE(1) in either the 1861 or 1851 Wales
census.
Any help or advice that can be given will be greatly received.
