Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Looking for a Hannah * born 1808 Burclere Hants- Help!!!
« on: Thursday 20 July 06 21:33 BST (UK)  »
Dee-Jay, Nell & Polar Bear,

Firstly, I apologise if I appeared to get carried away Dee Jay but I have been trying to establish Hannah's name and family for a very long time now and obviously I am really excited that suddenly due to you and Polar Bear I appear to be getting somewhat closer!!!! Secondly thank-you so much for all your efforts and the last two messages and your and your contacts efforts. with the Parish Records. So tell me what does a lying-in entail?
And let me see have I got this right:-
Hannah appears to have been born Hannah Hopkins bap 16/8/1807
She married James Pearce poss in 1834 at St.Pauls Hammersmith(next door to Fulham)
Hannah's sister may have been Martha Hopkins bap 25/6/1809
Parents poss. Dinah Bowles & Richard Hopkins that married on 23/12/1805 in Burghclere. Richard dying in 1809 buried 12/5/1809.
Dinah then went on to marry Joseph Watts on 5/7/1812 in Kingsclere next to Burghclere.

It would also appear that Giles or Jiles Bowles was a brother or uncle to Dinah.

Well as Hannah's daughters were called Martha Pearce and Dinah Pearce and one son called Joseph Pearce this does appear to fit rather nicely.
James Frederick Pearce another son was named I presume after his father James Pearce.

mmmmm this all looks very possible

Thank-you so much one and all and I do realise that some of the info is not extracted but alot has been confirmed by the Parish Records. So that is wonderful. Now to find where James Pearce's (b1811) parents came from as he was born in Fulham!

Cheers and best Regards,

Mark

Oh and Daniel that is a really kind offer. There is a church of All Saints in Old Burghclere and I did find a gravestone laid on the wall, as they all are, with the name Fosbury on it which happens to be the surname of a witness to Richard and Dinah Bowles wedding.
Didn't find any Bowles or Hopkins or Watts but if you can please let me know!!! Thanks.

Best Regards and thanks,

Jacqui,

I obtained the precise dates of birth and baptism from Parish Records for All Saints Church in Fulham from their parish records held at the London Metropolitan Archives in London. However I cannot find the marriage of James Pearce a Tailor to Hannah ? a Charwoman. The censi tell me she was born in Hampshire in 1808 and I believe in Burghclere although the emunerator spells it Burclere or Burclear!!
I guess they married in 1835 or 36 in Burclere before the bith of Francis Pearce.
Thanks for your help and interest.

Best Regards,

Mark

All especially Dee-jay,

Thank-you for your continuing efforts. I have come to a dead stop on this one. If you look back through my postings then I have given all the info I have. I can find her Husband James Pearce and the baptisms of her children in Fulham London at the All Saint's church plus her in several censi up until her death in 1876 but cannot establish her Maiden name. There are 3 children born after 1837 but they are not on BMD.
I have an uncanny feeling Dee Jay has hit the nail on the head but I confess I don't know why - it could be the name rings a bell somewhere or the fact that Martha Elizabeth and Dinah Margaret are the names of Hannah's daughters. James Frederick, Francis and Joseph are the names of the sons. Any proof will be gratefully appreciated. I imagine Hannah married James Pearce in 1835 or 1836 in Burghclere but I haven't searched the parish records there.

Anyway thank-you all for your suggestions much appreciated and thanks Dee-Jay I reckon you just may well be right!

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Mr Toad stuck at first hurdle in Fulham and requires help!
« on: Tuesday 30 May 06 18:57 BST (UK)  »
Andrea,

No I haven't thought of that! I will search the internet for the Fulham office and get writing.
As for Francis in 1841 he is home with mum and dad in Fulham aged 5. Later he moves to Putney and marries Mary Cole on June 26th 1859 and has 4 kids of his own.

I am trying to work out where these Pearces came from? I suspect the S/W or Berkshire but also strong contingent in Norfolk. However at present Fulham is as far as I get.

Many many thanks for your hard work. I can see you like toads!!

Cheers,

Mark

Andrea,

Thank-you so much for your efforts. I have checked Hannah out as much as I can but I came to the same conclusion as you it could be Burghclere and to the enumerator sounded like all the spellings that you have found. Of course without a wedding cert. I can't find what her surname is or her parents or where they lived.
Without children birth certificates I can't find her maiden name either.

So unless I can find where James and Hannah were married it looks like I will remain a toad!!!!
I do so hate these spells!! Any magic out there!

Seriously though many thanks for your help and if anyone has any bright ideas don't hesitate to suggest them.

Besst Regards,

Mark

O.K. all you wizards please cast your magic spells and work out how I progress? I must be  a real toad as I can’t find a solution.

I am trying to locate James Pearce’s father and mother and further back if possible!
 
James was born in 1811 in Fulham Middlesex and lived there all his life. Can't find a birth cert for James Pearce b 1811 in Fulham!
He married Hannah b 1808 from Hampshire prior to Jan 1836 when Francis James Pearce was born.
James and Hannah had at least 5 children Francis J, Joseph, Martha Elizabeth, Dinah Margaret and James Frederick Pearce. The last being my g grandfather.
Can't find a wedding cert for James and Hannah!

Spent lots of time at London Metropolitan Archives and the FRC. No joy yet!!!
I have found baptism records for all of the children and although three were born after 1837 I can not find any birth registration information in either Ancestry.co.uk or Freebmd nor at the FRC. So I cannot order birth certificates. - The children were all born in Fulham and lived there.
I realised that Fulham wasn't a registration district until much later and Kensington would be appropriate.
They lived in Fulham all their lives and I have found them on the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 census.  James died in 1856 aged 44 and Hannah died in 1876 aged 68 . James Pearce was a Tailor and Hannah a Charwoman..

Their children were:-

Francis James Pearce born  21/1/ 1836 and bap. 28/2/1836 Fulham Middx. (All Saints)
Joseph Pearce born 28/9/1837 and bap. 3/12/1837 Fulham Middx.
Martha Elizabeth Pearce born 12/7/1842 bap 5/10/1842 Fulham Middx.
Dinah Margaret Pearce born 9/10/1844 bap 17/11/1844 Fulham Middx.
James Frederick Pearce born 21/5/1848 bap 21/5/1852 Fulham Middx.

Dinah appeared to call herself Margaret after 30 but then I believe she married and I don’t know her married name!

This is the info. I found on the 1841 census :-

James Pearce 30 tailor born in county
Hannah " 34 not born in county - born Hampshire
Francis James Pearce 5 born in county
Joseph Pearce 3 "
living at Bridge Street, Fulham, Kensington, Middlesex
H0107/ 689/ 11
Folio 44, Page 35



All  help/suggestions gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Mark
