Back to the original JOSEPH, born 1806 query;
Joseph in ALL census entries is born Southover, Sussex. That does not mean his Parents were.
1841 I have posted
1851 Joseph is born Southover,Sussex, Jane Bronham, Wilts
With them are;
Joseph, 21
Phebe, 15
Henrietta, 10
Reuben, 9
Susannah, 4
1861 he is born Southover and at home with him and Jane are;
Jane, 25
Rueben, down as 14, but image is hard to read, should be 19
1871 Still born Southover with Jane and Reuben + Roger PEARCE, 80 ( c 179) Widow, 80, Shoemaker born Bronham, Wilts***There has to be a connection somewhere but not sure yet. I presume this is you Roger Penny?
This Roger I am sure is Roger PEARCE, born 1791, Bronham, Wilts, christened 02 January 1791, Brnham.
Parents WILLIAM and BETTY
Now on the same Batch are, all with parents William/Betty;
Joseph Pearce, 1784
William Brewer Pearce, 1785
Ann Brewer Pearce, 1787
Ann Brewer Pearce, 1789 ( 1st probably died)
Roger Pearce, 1791
Robert Pearce, 1793
Betty, 1794
Ann Pearce, 1797
( you can check out exact dates of christenings yourself)
There is this Marriage;
William PEARCE
Betty PEARCE
29 May 1793
Bronham, Wiltshire
To marry it 1783 at abt 20/25 yrs old, so born c 1760 it could be the Elizabeth age 84 in 1841 Census.
Or it could be the Betty Attwood marriage you found also which is submitted.
OR to confuse you more William could have married twice!!
And also ther could have been more than one William/Betty combo having children in Bronham at the same time.
