Thank you very much , it is greatly appreciated.   I have checked out the BMD in Rootsweb and many years ago went through the microfilm at our local genealogy society.  It does seem that most of the Gaylard and Gayleards are in the same family, however I did manage to find one that wasn't.  An Elizabeth gets married in the 1860's and according to the Marriage certificate her father is a Henry.   However the great mystery to me has always been this family unit because I can't seem to find George Gayleard and Ann Pearce being married in the Hampshire area.  And then for some strange reason George the son marries and then seems to almost dissappear.  I do have pictures and records of Mary Ann Gayleard who is my grandfather's aunt, but absolutely no mention of the older brother. I'm actually believing that George the father is son to William Gayleard, Saddler from Portsea, however this one piece still remains a mystery to me.... the marriage.  I thought I might get a break in the census records, but so far little light has come.  But I am very much enjoying the search and am trying to widen the circle I am looking through.
Sorry for the length of this.

Sorry fo the lack of information, actually I don't have much other than Ann being in the 1851 census in Portsmouth under the name Ann Gaylard.  The only other information I have to connect the two was Ann's second marriage to Williams Barnes in 1870.  I go a copy of the marriage certificate and this is the only reference I have to her family.  In it it refers to her father as William and occupation as Poulterer.  I haven't actually managed to find the marraige between her and George Gayleard in the mid 1840's but have decided to try to find her marriage. I thought if I could track her family I could track down her.  So I am thinking (and hoping) I can still find him in either 1840's or 1850's around Portsmouth.
Sorry for the long roundabout.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / William Pearce

I am looking for a William Pearce in the Portsmouth area around 1850, from his daughter Ann's wedding certificate it mentions him as a Poulterer.  However I haven't found any more information on him.

Wow, that looks like them.  I actually managed to find the names in the 1881 census spelled Guyheard and Greybeard and only because I searched through thier in-laws names and found them in the same household. What always made it difficult was that even on the marraige certificates the ages were greatly exaggerate.
Thanks again.

Yes, this is them.  Is this the 1851 census?  Looking from their ages it must be. Thank you very, very much. I am printing them off and adding to the Genealogy Binder.  Thanks again.

Hello I'm new at this chat or board thing but I have been doing a bit of genealogy.  I am at a bit of an impass and have been researching the name Gayleard (often spelled Gaylard) in the Portsea area.  So far I have George Gayleard married to Ann Pearce, thier children Mary Ann Sarah Elizabeth, born 1846, George Henry John born 1848, and William Henry born 1858. Have found some references in the IGI however can't seem to find them in most census records outside of 1881 and can't seem to find George and Ann marriage.
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks
Wilfred Gayleard
