In 1871 Elizabeth was a housemaid in a small household in Wimborne Minster.

Marriage  Q4. 1842  Wimborne .  Vol. 8 Pg. 277

John Shears  ;  Elizabeth Thompson on the page

The only death registered for an Elizabeth Thompson in Wimborne between 1852 and 1861 is that I mentioned previously  -  so      Not one of two babies, but Elizabeth's mother    

(note to self :  never assume  )

This means that either of those two birth regs. could be your Elizabeth, but maybe the 1853 and her mother died in childbirth

1841:  John Shears age 32 South Common, Wimborne.  Living alone, Ag Lab.

There is a submitted baptism on the IGI : John Shears 6 Nov 1808 Hinton Martlet, parents George and Mary

1841 : Elizabeth Thompson, living in Wimborne with Jonathan Thompson age 64 of Independent means.

Extracted baptism for Elizabeth on IGI  Mar 1810  Parents Jonathan and Mary.

hi mum44 ,

Hi Flannery,
How are you related to Elizabeth Shears or Edward Pearce?
They were my g.g. grandparents.
If you need infos just ask.

PS:I don't have the right infos about her family, but her mother name should be Elizabeth.

I believe my greatgrandmother was Ann Pearce (b.1838 in Lymington Hampshire) daughter of Edward and Charlotte Pearce both born circa 1806.

She married my greatgrandfather James Keeler on December 6th 1863 and lived at Woodhouse Lodge Dulwich,Kent.

Their first child Fanny Charlotte was born in Lymington on 15th. November 1864.I am trying to find further information concerning her family in Lymington and any early links with my greatgrandfather.

Re: Ann Pearce. Edward married a Charlotte Stoat at Boldre (Hampshire).9th October 1822 Boldre.
According to 1841 census .
Your Greatgrandmother Ann,was sister to my GreatGreatgrandfather James.
Children : James 15, Walter 10, Mark 5, Henry 4, Ann 3, John 7months.
(All show as born in county ages in 1841 16+ were rounded down to nearest 5 years.)
                                                                                                                                       
I believe that Charlottes parents are this couple:
James Stoat Married Hannah Knap 23 May 1801 Boldre.
 I have found 2 other Baptisms for children of this couple:
John Peerless Stote or Stoat 17th June 1804, and WalterStoat 13 th April 1806
This may be te Baptism of James:James Stoat son of George Stoat and Jane stoat Baptised 16th July 1780 Boldre.

Thanks very much Flannery.
With regard to my greatgrandmother Ann Pearce. In the 1851 Census she was living in Portsea Island Landport, Southsea aged 13years old which ties in with her date of birth (born Lymington 1838).
In later life she became a florist (noted as proffession in 1881 census) and the family owned a Nursery in New Beckenham Kent.A Florist shop carried on at West Wickham Kent as far as I am aware toward the end of the last century run by a descendant Pearl White.
I guess Ann Pearce  may have started work at the tender age of 13years, possibly doing something that led to her later proffession. Possibly this is where she met my Greatgrandfather James Keeler (b.1835 in Ireland we believe ).
Have you any other thoughts as to why she may have been in the Southsea area?

Further to my earlier e-mail concerning an Ann Pearce staying in Portsea . As mentioned a few months ago she was 13 in 1851 census and staying with her Auntie Fanny Smith nee Pearce, who was also born in Lymington, her husband was John Smith who was a Caulker by trade.  I think this could be my great grandmother but would be interested to know if Fanny Smith nee Pearce was a sister to Edward Pearce (born 1802 in Boldre) my greatgrandmothers father.
I am not aware of other brothers and sisters but would imagine there were.

Sorry if this response is too late to be useful, bit I have only just joined Rootschat. I am descended from Walter Stote, the younger brother of Charlotte Pearce (nee Stote), and can provide you with their family's origins back to the early 17th century, and probably back to 1500. It's too complicated to summarise in a post, but I have the information written up, and can Email it if you would like (or can one add attachments to these posts?). I have also attempted to trace all other New Forest Stotes, in the same document.
