Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: pearce

Further to my earlier e-mail concerning an Ann Pearce staying in Portsea . As mentioned a few months ago she was 13 in 1851 census and staying with her Auntie Fanny Smith nee Pearce, who was also born in Lymington, her husband was John Smith who was a Caulker by trade.  I think this could be my great grandmother but would be interested to know if Fanny Smith nee Pearce was a sister to Edward Pearce (born 1802 in Boldre) my greatgrandmothers father.
I am not aware of other brothers and sisters but would imagine there were. :)

Thanks Dazey 999,

Yes I  believe that this is my grandfathers father and mother and his younger brother and sister .I am lead to believe from my mothers recollection that he had lots of brothers and sisters.
Many thanks for your information it is most appreciated. Hopefully

I am back and have finally had confirmation of my grandfather. He was born on 28th August 1888 and registered at the Ship Yard, High Street, Croydon. His parents were William and Mary Ann Player nee Coates.

Thanks Groom (and Dazey99).

My grandfather is in the 1911 census b.1887 in South Norwood and living in Bradford which is correct.

I know he was kicked out of the family at an early age which may mean that at 14years old in 1901 census he could have been elsewhere.

I won't totally rule out the mentioned family noted by yourselves as there appears to be two Alberts and its not to say that there are not two Walters.


In the 1881 census I did find two Player families one living at 3 Eden Cottages, St. Marks Road. Croydon, Surrey and the other lived at 35 Arplay Road, Penge. These may have some links.

Anyway thankyou with your endeavours, I will try to get it ironed out.

 I am researching the background of my grandfather Walter Player who was born in South Norwood in 1887, he was one of nine. At the time there were a couple of Player families in that area and I am looking for any background. He had a sister Kate who lived at Crystal Palace and a brother possibly called Albert who lived in Sheffield and who fought in the First World War who I know little of. My grandfather married Olive Shackleton and lived in Bingley, West Yorkshire. they both died in 1967.

Kimbrey,
Thanks for your swift response, I guess its back to the drawing board as dates don't match with Edward Pearce and Charlotte Pearce nee Stoat.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / PEARCE - Boldre

My greatgrandmother was Ann Pearce b. 1838 Daughter of Edward Pearce b.1806 and Charlotte Pearce nee Stoat b.1806 at Boldre. I believe his father was an Edward Pearce b. 1785 at Boldre , his grandfather Thomas Pearce.
In the Beaulieu Marriage Records for the parish of Boldre there is quoted a Thomas  Wes(r?)tbrook Pearce marying a Elizabeth Falis on 24th. July 1766. Is this is the same person?

Thanks very much Flannery.
With regard to my greatgrandmother Ann Pearce. In the 1851 Census she was living in Portsea Island Landport, Southsea aged 13years old which ties in with her date of birth (born Lymington 1838).
In later life she became a florist (noted as proffession in 1881 census) and the family owned a Nursery in New Beckenham Kent.A Florist shop carried on at West Wickham Kent as far as I am aware toward the end of the last century run by a descendant Pearl White.
I guess Ann Pearce  may have started work at the tender age of 13years, possibly doing something that led to her later proffession. Possibly this is where she met my Greatgrandfather James Keeler (b.1835 in Ireland we believe ).
Have you any other thoughts as to why she may have been in the Southsea area?
