looking for info on Harriett Pearce, christened at Hanbury Worcestor on 16/3/1829. Daughter of George and Ann Pearce. I believe she was born in Potters Bar Middlesex in 1821 but dates have been varied depending on who doing the research.

The IGI has a marriage for George Pearce and Ann Hughes at Upton Snodsbury 6th Sept 1825. Seems likely to be this couple as the Thomas H in the above census is Thomas Hughes in the IGI, bapt 9th Sept 1832.
So it looks to me as though Harriet born Potters Bar 1821 is someone else entirely ??? Is she the one you want to trace?

No I believe the one christened in Hanbury is the correct one. Unfortunately others had compiled our family tree previously, and I believe there has been some sloppy detective work. I started looking at the family tree earlier this year, going into websites such as IGI to find further information on what I have been given, and there are some glaringly obvious errors in what I had been given. Our Harriett's parents were Geroge pearce and Ann last name unknown.
