Title: Eliza PEARCE (married name ROBERTS)
Post by: canadian_girl on Friday 08 January 10 04:22 GMT (UK)

Eliza Pearce,,  born about June 1866,, married a John Roberts, had many kids, Alice Jane, Medford, Nancy (Annie),George, Thoams, William, Edith.. died about 1932 in Wellington.
Trying to find out John and Eliza parentage,,  we have looked and thought Eliza may have been from a Laura Pearce, no father listed but I am not to sure.
I have Eliza born in Somerset and dying there as well., John born is St Lancashire dying in Taunton.

Any help would be appreciated. That really is all I have, Thanks!

Hi,

Found this marriage registration on FreeBMD:


Eliza Pearce   MarQ  1886    Bridgwater     5c     516

Possible groom:    John Roberts

Copy of the certificate should show the name and occupation of the two fathers.  Using those details you can trace Eliza and John using census records.

Hi there canadian girl, if you do go any further back with Eliza or John (especially John) please could you let me know?  My husbands grandma was Margaret Camilla Roberts, daughter of E & J.  Its rumoured she had a thing with brother Medford & produced my father in law!!!  I have generations down from said Margaret.

Would be really grateful if anyone can give parentage of John Roberts (above) who was married to Eliza.

Eliza's background too would be helpful, I think her maiden name was Pearce and her mother possibly Lucy?
