    Smile PIERCE/PEARCE/PEARSE Family of Hungerford

    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.

    Exclamation Pierce/Pearce/Pearse Family of Hungerford

    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

    Exclamation PIERCE/PEARCE/PEARCE Family of Hungerford

    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,

    I think Lucy was born in West Woodhay. James and Lucy had 2 children, Thomas and Ellen, the James born in Wimbledon in 1873 was actually Ellen's son although in all Census recordings he is listed as James and Lucy's son. I have his birth cert and Ellen is definitely his mother, no father listed.
    As for Thomas I have his as marrying Eliza Pither and settling in Berkshire, but I could be wrong.
