Who did Alfred marry [prior to 1891] he appears in 1891 census married but without wife - any children?
I have been looking for my Mum's friend [now 85] but my Mum has found another lady [via Wilstead Church] who was a PEARCE at marriage...she is not too sure who her parents were I think I can find them but does anyone relate to the family?

If Alfred did not marry it makes research easier...
However, are there any male PEARCEs that Nora could have been born from [in 1925]? John went to Kempston and had one son [Edward in 1881] ...George had a daughter, called Clary - but are there are more boys?

Thank you for the info Bedfordshire - my Mum's friend has a photo of Mrs Pearce [the lady's aunt] who was the infants school mistress and other evidence so that fits in nicely. She was given a clock when she retired which her neice still has I believe
