James John Pearce b 1832

[Susan Smith]

Hi,  I have found a criminal record for James John Pearce aged 13 at the time,  how can I check if this is my Ancestor as it does not give a lot of info. It appears to be right area.

I think I would be inclined to look at 1841 census for James John born circa 1832 and go from there

Possibly family tree on Ancestry
Father James born  circa 1809
mother Elizabeth

1841 shows James, Elizabeth and a whole host of children, James shown as aged 8, he will be your man,
