The writing is quite difficult but I think I have deciphered it OK.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Have you seen the 1881 census entry for an Elizabeth E Pierce aged 7 and a Beatrice Pierce aged 5 both born in Islington? They are in the household of William Adolphus and both are described as Niece.

Hope this doesn't complicate matters more!

Barbara

I shoudn't worry too much about the  difference in the way the relationships are described - this is quite common in my experience.  Sister can of course also mean sister in law or step sister.

In this case I would be inclined to try to prove that they are sisters.

Have looked at the 1881 census - where is Beatrice?

Not quite sure what you want.  I have the 1891 census details if you want those.

Have found all the references.

3 are married - born Brighton, Devon and Middx.  1 is with his sister, Emma,  and is a haberdasher b London St Giles.

Which one are you interested in - if any?
