Sorry I haven't come across this couple.  Who were the sisters (names and year of birth needed) who emigrated ?  Might give us a guide which area to look.

Sandra
The other Pearce sisters who emigrated were Martha born 1847 Lincolnshire married Samuel Moody and Ellen born Islington 1857 married Emile Mottart. They lived in Ontario but didn't emigrate until after 1900. I had amazing help back in 2006 from this board with information on this family. Sadly Jane and Benjamin are not proving to be so easy to find.  ???

I did find those Pearce sisters but it didn't lead me anywhere to find Benjamin and Jane unfortunately.

The death certificate for sister Martha Pearce/Moody gave Henry William Pearce and Elizabeth Goodwin.

Liking the GRO Pears entry Kloumann, thanks. I have the 41, 51, 61 census entries, including the misspelled one! I've tried looking for Jane & Benjamin around Cullompton where it seems Benjamin came from post marriage but nothing stands out. I have been researching this family since the 1980's  :o , they are absolutely my favourite ancestors. Jane is the only one I haven't managed to crack  :(
