Hello Bullard

My wife has the feeling that the two elder brothers are those to the right of the groom and the youngest is the one in the front row to the right in front of Septimus. My wife's uncle had a better record of who is who and I shall contact his daughter to see if she has any better ideas.

Thankyou avm228 and Bullard for the welcome and for bringing me up to date with the Pierce saga. I clearly wasn't too far out in my analysis so it is all very puzzling especially when the family became so distinguished subsequently. Incidentally, Bullard, we have photographs of Nellie and Henry's wedding which must show Septimus and his wife  and probably two of the sons at Septimus's home in Steyning Sussex. Unfortunately there are no clues as to who is in the photograph. I shall be happy to share such information as I have though as you say it might be best done via e-mail.

My wife's paternal grandmother was Nellie Pierce, daughter of Septimus, Samuel Oliver's son. She married Henry Knight whose son was Robert Lanier Knight my wife's father. We also have a copy of SO Pierce's journal which he put together about his trip to the USA. Like everyone else I have reached an impasse about the Pierces in about the mid 18th century. I have only just joined RootsChat so I am not familiar yet with the thread that I stumbled upon. I should wlecome any contact about the more recent leads.
