Thank you Elizabeth I appreciate your help, dates of Richards children would help.

There is a death for a Richard Pearce in 1847.

Can you please tell me Elizabeth do you have MI books of each churchyard I could buy ??, we have them for most parishes here in Scotland.

Thanks again, any help is greatfully accepted.

Regards
Sandra

Ginny, I am so sorry to bother you again, but wonder if you can help, the line I am following starts with Dinah,then Alice, then Sarah 1876 then Lottie 1912, then my daughter in laws Dad xxxx, then her xxxx, my question is the death of Richard Pearce you found in 1847, then he couldnt be the father of Alice could he ??.

No he wastn the father of Alice. It looks like Dinah had Alice to another man.

This is her birth, the only way to check is to see if the father is listed is to buy the certificate


England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Alice Pearce

Seems Dinah wasnt adverse to having children out of marriage and neither was Alice by the looks of the 1881 census

Youre welcome Sandra


Happy hunting :-D

OMG, Ginny, that is brilliant, thanks so very much, this is my daughter in laws tree I am doing so I want to find out as much as I can for her, this is fantastic, I am over the moon, this will help me so much.

It means so much to people like me who have not got a lot of experience to be able to ask for help and receive it.

Thanks again off to digest all this info.
Regards
Sandra

I think this might be her, there seems to be an 'i' in her name, I think its been mistranscribed?

Maybe this is wrong, looking at the info below it...cant see a Dinah Hammond in 1841? Edit: Forget this, its pants....see the post below!

Thanks Gins you have been a great help, cant wait till her BC comes, hope its the right one.

Many regards

I cant find her in 1891. Im guessing Alice, listed on the 1881 is the mother of Sarah and was unmarried but you'd need her birth certificate to check

There is a possible marriage for Alice Pearce in Faringdon in the 1880s,,,,you can check it out on freebmd

Well done gins that will help anyone else looking as well, I though I was just blind not been able to find her.

x

Ive edited! No wonder you couldnt find her ;-)

Can you find her in 1891 Gins please.

x

Thanks Gins, that does sound a bit odd, I just thought I would find her with her Mother and Father.

This is a bit odd
