Hi Kristin
Welcome to Rootschat!
I'm not coming up with anything for them :-[
What information do you have linking them [or William] to the Salford area?
He isn't in the Slater's Directory for 1850.
There is a Henry Pearce at Chetham's aged 13 years b Manchester but not sure this is "yours"
Let me know & we can have another delve.
Regards

Dear Sandra,
Thank you for your reply. Ellen PEARCE b. Devon 1833 married Thomas BOWEN in 1853 Manchester Cathedral giving her address as 6 Brewer St. Salford. gGrandparents.
Ann PEARCE b. Ireland is on the 1841 Census living on Silk St. Salford. She had a son James in 1848. Unmarried. Is on the 1861 married in 1856 to Lucas. On 1861 her brother Henry b. Devonport 1839 is a tailor, living with Ann.
Rebecca, born Scotland, is on 1861 on 55 Bridgewater St. Salford.
I have only found William and Sarah PEARCE on the 1841 while they were stationed in Devonport.
Any help would be great. William and Sarah are my brickwall.
Regards,
Carolyn
