Hi all,
I am after any information I can find on a James Pearce, born in Norfolk around 1841 and his family. He went to sea in 1857 and settled in New Zealand in 1862, where he married a Letitia Lawson in 1863. Here is a newspaper article on him but doesnt give many clues to his past. https://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/schol...4-d113-d3.html. There appear to be several James Pearces born in Norfolk around this time and I am unsure where to turn next. Any information or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Nick
