Title: 1851 & 1861 census - PEARCE please
Post by: Sisyphus on Monday 11 April 05 17:21 BST (UK)

Hi,
   I would really appreciate a lookup for John Pearce and his wife Mary Ann born approx. 1827 & 1826 respectively. They are probably in Newport, Mons. They subsequently had children George Proctor, Harry, Fred, & John. George Proctor was born in June 1851 so will probably not appear in the 1851 census. Thank you in anticipation,
                                    Sisyphus
