Verdon and Euan Pearce
« on: Friday 02 March 07 12:02 GMT (UK) »

I'm looking for a Verdon Pearce, born in about 1872 at Hyde Heath, Great Missenden Buckinghamshire. Euan Pearce was born in about 1878 also in Hyde Heath. Their  parents were Daniel and Frances (aka Franny or Fanny) Pearce These two produced 6 children, one of whom Ernest Henry was my great grandfather.
Neither Verdon nor Euan were particularly common names so I thought these would be easy to trace.  Not so - both were living at hime at the time of the 1891 census but Verdon then seems to disappear - I can't find any record of his death and no mention in the 1901 census.
Euan (or Evan in the 1891 census) is still at home at the time of the 1901 census but thereafter disappears apart from a possible marriage in 1902 (can't confirm this) again no record of a death.
Does anyone know where they went? Has anyone come across these two in their own research?
Any information gratefully received.
Thank you
Ian

Hi Ian,

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley

I can't see a birth registered under the name Verdon Pearce at all  Huh Looking at the 1891 image, he looks like Gordon to me, what do you think*?
Will post a matching Gordon Pearce from 1901 census in a minute  Smiley

*edit: and indeed that's what he is called in 1881, as I see now

wow thank you!  So Gordon was Verdon then! But what about Evan (Euan)?

Gordon's death was recorded in the family Bible but no mention of the others!

Thanks again!

Well, to confirm that the 1902 marriage is your Evan, you'd need to order the marriage cert.

As for a death  - if you really want to find out, you'll need a bit of patience ...

The complete index is here:

You have to view every quarter of every year to check if there's a match.

Hi Ian
Your Pearce entry caught my eye, as I have some elusive Pearce ancestors in the same area of Bucks.
I don't suppose you have a Parrimore William Pearce b c1802 in your tree by any chance, from Wendover area? I think his father was a Daniel.
Daniel, Joseph, Fanny, William are family names across the generations I have found so far.

Rebecca
Thanks for making contact. If you would like to PM me with your email address, I'd be very happy to let you see what I have so far.
I also have a lot of photos of Pearce graves from the area which might help you. I have a Daniel Pearce who was my great great grandfather and his father was called Joseph so we might have some common ground.

It's certainly worth talkng!
