PEARCE Tresquite/Pelynt

[Marton]

Hi, does anyone out there have any idea what happened to Frederick Pearce, miller and farmer at Tresquite Mill  in 1901, he was connected to Pelynt, born there, but can't track what happened to the family after that
many thanks  Marton

Can you give us the full 1901 census record, please?  Is this him?
Lansallos:
Frederick W Pearce, 31, b. Pelynt
Bertha, 28, b. Pelynt
Frederick W, 0, b. Lansallos

If it is, he was Frederick William Pearce m. Bertha Rowe in 1898.

www.historicaldirectories.org shows Frederick Pearce, miller (water) Tresquite Mill in 1902.  By 1906 John Langmaid was there and Frederick doesn't show in Lansallos at all, and I can't find him as a miller anywhere else.  So the move happened between 1902 and 1906 - if you could get hold of directories for the intervening years,  you could pin down exactly when he moved.

Have you managed to track any of his siblings (if he had them?).  You might find that he followed one of them.  Trying to look for the death of the parents also might give clues as to where the children ended up.  (Particularly if his parents had less common names - there are a lot of Frederick William Pearces about).

Well thank you jorose  yes I do have his brother's and sister's families  and have met up with a lot of their descendants , this is as far as I could get after 1902 -I have drawn a blank and will have to live long enough to see 2011 census!I can't trace a marriage so far,  if it was in Cornwall it would be in the Pelynt area, but they may have moved anywhere in the world
