Marriage Elizabeth PEARCE, Great Marlow PR

[matt94]

Yes that is my Henry. He married Pathina (Surname Unknown) at West Wycombe (probably) in about 1808. I haven't delved into deep research. Yes I think then Samuel is his brother. I have West Wycombe MI's for Harris surname; are any of them yours?

Hi Matt

Thanks for the MI's but so far I have not been able to match any up. The dates are good, but not the names.  So it must have been another branch of the family.

Hi

I am also researching the Pearces in Bledlow Ridge.  My GGGGrandfather Thomas Pearce was born in 1805 to Henry and Ann Pearce.  Unfortunately I can't obtain any marraige or birth info for the parents, the source I have suggests the parish records for 1800 - 1803 are sketchy, which would fit with why you can't find Elizabeths birth. 

Henry was buried 24.07.1822, aged 51, and Ann was buried 10.12.1824 aged 52.  Bledlow has 3 Anns born in Bledlow in the right period - one for each of 1772 - 1774, but without the marraige I think this is the end of the line for tracing her.  There isn't a Henry Pearce born in Bledlow anywhere near 1771, so he may have been born out of parish.

You may have already got this source but it could help.

Hi,

Thanks for this information.  I have realised that whilst this site is wonderful their are records missing from it.  So I think I will have to get over to Aylesbury to do some research whenever time allows.  If I find anything out I will let you know

Thanks

Hi H,

I was just clearing my desk for back to work on Wednesday when I came across a scrap of paper saying   Elizabeth Pearce had a sister Mary.
              Mary Persey b 25.11.1792 in Radnage

So I had a look at Radnage Parish records and the following record jumped out

21.10.1792   Henry Persey of West Wycombe married Ann Standbrook of Radnage - spinster.

25.11.1792 Baptism of Mary d Henery and Ann Persey
16.02.1794 Baptism of Edmund Pearce s of Henery and Ann.

I had not really thought too much about the different variation of Pearce beyond Pierce etc.  But their are loads of Pifsey, Persey, Piesy, Pisey, Pissey Pissie, Pizey in Radnage, so I will have to widen my search.

Hope the Henry Ann marriage helps

Hi Cannie Lad and Peonynon,

I too have Daniel Ridgley, b1771, as my g.g.g.g.grandfather, with Soloman as my ancestor and his son Daniel. b. 30 March 1824, then William, b.1850 and William Alfred, b. 1869.

Since these posts, have you manage to get any further on the Ridgley line?

Also, do you have anything on Elizabeth Pearce's parents or on Joyce Lacey, Daniel's wife - are her parents Richard and Joyce?

Regards
D

Hi Dan Delion,

Welcome to Rootschat.   Since the Summer I have returned to work full time.  So I have not done any more research into this.  Even though I am desperate to start again.

The Daniel Ridgley does need to tie up with

But so far the best theory is a baptism  of Daniel Lisley in Princess Risborough in 1771 

Once I get some time this is what I intend to do.

The Pearce name is an unknown,  I just cannot find Elizabeths baptism.

The Joyce Lacey route you will find in Princess Risborough where she was baptised and her parents were Richard and Joyce.  I have not gone further than three generations back with the Lacey name.  However Richard and Joyce were married in Princes Risborough in 1771 which show her as a Newell and this can then be traced back further.

Good Luck  I will PM you a message as I think we may be quite closely related!

Thanks

Hi Peony,

This was my first post, so don't seem to be able to reply to your PM.  I suspect we are closely related though ... your grandmother was my aunt.
