PIERCE/PEARCE/PEARSE Family of Hungerford

[David Potterat]

Hi Guys,
I am interested in James PIERCE born 1829 in Hungerdford. He married Lucy ?? who was born in West Noddsy (lookslike) about 1828.

I have a rough idea that James' father was Thomas PEARCE who was married to a Mary ??

James had two sons Thomas born 1850 in Hungerford and James born 1856 Hungerford.

Thomas PEARSE married Emma ?? of Wimbledon and they had 5 chidren born in Wimbledon.

Anyone with similar connections to Berkshire Pearces please call.

No connection, but assuming that the 'y' on the end of the place name is correct, the only villages nearby which might match are West Woodhay, just south of Hungerford - and - West Hanney, north of Wantage.

David,

I've had a scan through the 1851 census for each of the spellings. I cannot find a James of the right age or Lucy or Thomas (son). I have found the found the following possible:

Thomas Pearce - Head, age 52, Agricultural Labourer, b Hungerford BRK
Mary Pearce - Wife, age 53 b Chilton WIL
Emily Pearce - Daur, age 19, b Hungerford BRK

I'll have a bit more of a dig for some of the others in later years.

Regards
Harry

David,

I have found Thomas and Family in 1881 and 1901 (can't find them for 1871 or 1891):

1881
RG11/829
Copse Hill ?, 14 Thurston ? Road, Wimbledon

Thomas Pearse, Head, age 29, Gardener, b Berks Hungerford
Emma Pearse, Wife, age 32, b Surrey Wimbledon
Daughter, age 1mnth, b Surrey Wimbledon

1901
RG13/657
2 Lime Villas, Richmond Road, Wimbledon

Thos Pearce, Head, age 51, Gardener, b Wimbledon Surrey
Emma Pearce, Wife, age 52, b Wimbledon Surrey
Thos Pearce, Son, age 19, Carter ?, b Wimbledon Surrey
Emily Pearce, Daur, age 15, b Wimbledon Surrey
James Pearce, Son, age 13, b Wimbledon Surrey
Harry Pearce, Son, age 10, b Wimbledon Surrey

Nothing for James I'm afraid - a few possibles, but too vague dates and places of birth.

Hi David
I have a Pierce connection on the Berks/Hants borders.
Have you tried the records for Burghcler & Highclere?

Hi Ffortune
No I have not tried records for Burghcler & Highclere.
I have not been on this thread for a while.
Still interested in anything that turns up though.
