    Hi all!

    So I am finding it tricky to find William Pearce (Ethel's father) prior to his marriage to Eliza in 1882. On the 1891 census it says he is born in East Meon, Hampshire.

    Searching the 1871 census for a William Pearce brings up:

    William Hy Pearce b.1857 Portsea, Hampshire - followed on - not him
    William Pearce b. 1857 Clanfield, Hampshire - followed on - not him
    William Pearce b. 1856 Milford, Hampshire - living with Grandparent's - need to look at these and see what children they have
    William Pearce b. 1856 Tadley, Hampshire - lodger (farm servant) - Ancestry doesn't give any further hints when looking at this record - 1881 census living Padworth, Bradfield, Berkshire,- born Tadley, ag lab married. ***
    William H Pearce b. 1858 Cosham, Hampshire - followed on - not him
    William Pearce b. 1856 Mitchelmersh, Hampshire - need to look at this - father William but for some reason I think his father is John but not sure why I think this! - was a woodman -married Alma Selina Wren - followed - not him
    William Pearce b. 1856 Landport, Hampshire - lodger (can't make out what his job is) - Ancestry doesn't give futher hints and Landport isn't too far from East Meon! - telegraph clerk - civil service - learner

    There are lots of other William Pearce's but not born in Hampshire.

    Is there anything I'm missing or should I just get stuck into looking at the ones I can't rule out straight away?

    Thanks

    Thanks Anette!

    Witness? There is a Robert J A Palmer b 22 Dec 1888 - Retail Grocery & General Stores (Own Account) living on the same road as Joseph and Ethel on 1939 register - 43 Critchmere Lane, Hazlemere.
    Edit: I found Joseph in 1911.
    Joseph was a grocer assistant Kingston on Thames

    I agree with the last suggestion, that Ethel May Pearce is the one registered Mar.1891 Midhurst, Sussex. 1891 census shows her as 4 months old (census was 5/4/1891 with would fit with mid. Nov.1890 birth).

    She was actually born in Fernhurst, Sussex and in 1911 is in Midhurst, Sussex, a servant, and christian name mistranscribed as Ethal on Ancestry.

    Doesn't seem to have been baptised so only way to confirm is to get copy of her birth certificate.

    Annette
    Her age is also mistranscribed as 30 therefore born 1881 but the image definitely shows age 20.

    just to confirm your earlier suggestion doesn't seem correct back mother Laura Neighbour, and the Ethel is registered Evelyn Ethel, so don't think these are your people.

    Fernhurst is part of Haselmere and not far from Midhurst.

    ...realised I had not posted this last night!
    Yes, I assumed this after so are we thinking the one Kat found are correct looking at the info. so far?

    Also, I have yet to find Ethel's death if anyone wants to have a look before I get home from work haha!

    Thanks everyone! I'm sure I'll be back with something else soon haha!

    Good Morning,

    I'm having trouble finding this lady before her marriage to Joseph Downe in 1914.

    The marriage has her father as William Pearce.

    I think I have found them on FMP but I'm still not getting options for credits/micropayments so I can't see the record and I'm not sure if I'm finding a different family on Ancestry - this is what I have found so far!
    https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...=successSource
    (I was looking at this info back in 2011 when I first started playing with family history and added altenative info, now I'm not sure it's the correct family!).

    There is also this baptism (if the correct family) but can't work out what thw 1st name should be (Ethel as the 2nd name, however my Ethel uses this as 1st name so thinking it's not either the right person or family?)
    https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...;rhSource=7814

    Can anyone find an alternative family I've not seen?

    Thanks

    Thanks Kat, however, Ethel's marriage in 1914 doesn't say her Father's deceased so not sure this is them either - good point about 1st Q of 1891 for birth reg though! Will look for all Ethel Pearce / Pierce / Pearse for last Q 1890 and 1stQ 1891.


    EDIT - this birth is the only one that shows middle name May (same as marriage cert)! However, still the thing about Father not being 'deceased' on marriage cert?

    Thanks
    do you have his occupation?
