Hi
I'm looking for death information on Ellen Pearce - born 8 Nov 1847, chr 19 Oct 1851 in Cardinham, nr Bodmin - that is after 1905.
She was my great grandmother. She lived in Castle Street, Bodmin right through to 1901 Census return and beyond I believe. She was a witness at my grandmother's wedding in 1905 (in Colchester), but I can't find any info on her after that, specifically a death date. There seem to be a lot of Ellen Pearce's down there in Cornwall! To my knowledge she never married.
Suggestions much appreciated.
I am visiting the Bodmin area at the end of May, if anyone can help locally that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Anne

Hi Anne,
This looks like the one
Ellen PEARCE died 23 May 1926 aged 78 years, buried Bodmin Old Cemetery. Looks like she died over the border
Ellen PEARCE died June 1/4 1926 Devonport aged 78 years 5b 378
Cheers Kris

Anne I think it is one and the same  - died in Devonport, buried in Bodmin. The GRO ref is the only one I could find to match the 1926 MI. She appears to be buried alone. Have a lovely trip.............Kris

Dear Kris,
I see now what you meant! - and MI puzzled me for a while, but I think you mean Monumental Inscription (?) - this took me to the Cornwall family history site, I will join it to search for some other Pearce burials...........as you can see, I'm very much still a beginner, and learning all the time about finding good websites.
I've been looking at the sites offered or suggested through Rootschat - what a great site this is, wish I'd found it before!
Thank you once again for your assistance,
best regards,
Anne
