Great work Laurina!     

I'd been hunting for them in Dorset; there are several Pearce families living in Portland.


Nanny Jan

I was too until I found a birth for William Peerless Pearce. Wish I could find a marriage for Charlotte Stoat.

I've had a lovely time sorting them out!

Is this what you were looking for Flannery?

Laurina

[flannery]

yes that info was great!  I am now trying to find Elizabeth Shears who I believe may have been
married to Edward Pearce I think she was born 1812 Dorset can you find anything
about her please?         

[Mum44]

First off  -   I think she was born  1852  

Chalbury is in Wimborne district.

There are two possible birth registrations:

Elizabeth Shears  Q1. 1852  Wimborne  Vol.  5a.  Pg. 285

Elizabeth Shears  Q3. 1853  Wimborne  Vol. Vol 5a.  Pg. 243

and one death :  Q3. 1853 Wimborne;  I suspect this might be the lass born Q3. 1853 

Therefore, one candidate.  See later post   

1861
RG9.  P. 1337  Fol. 4  Pg.  3

Gaunts Common, Wimborne

SHEARS
John Head  Wid  53   Landed Proprietor   B.  Dorset, Hinton Martlet
Eliza  Dau  18
John  Son  11
Henry  Son  9
Elizabeth  Dau  7

children all born Wimborne

1851
South Common, Wimborne

SHEARS
John  Head  M  42  Grocer  B.  Dorset, Hinton Martlet
Elizabeth  Wife  M  40
Elizabeth Eliza  Dau  7
Mary Jane  Dau  5
John  Son  1

others all both Wimborne

This gives Elizabeth's mother.
