Hi Chris

Thanks for all the extra info.  I had found the burial of Elizabeth in 1830 and also the remarriage of John.  Both were on findmypast. 

Also on there were the burials of Eliza and Henry who feature on the 1815 Toomers census.  I have sent for the dvd of this by the way.

Newbury and Highclere are only about 5 miles apart, so that is possible.  The birth/baptism year (1779) is more likely and is much nearer to the one stated on the 1841 census.  Mary and Eliza are both used as forenames for his daughters  by John Peirce bookbinder!

Still looking.....

Hi Alan
Thanks very much.  So much info!
I think it is looking more possible that we/you have found the correct John Peirce/Pearce/Pearse.

Hi Chris
Sorry for the delay in responding, we have been away for the weekend.

Thank you once again, that looks very good.  Interesting that John Pearce comes from Hampshire.
Something else to look at.  I have also sent for a copy of the Toomers 1815 census.

Hi Chris

Thank you for the information.  I will try my library on my visit next week.  They may be able to help with the church records.  Some of the St Nicholas Church records are available on findmypast, but not that far back and not baptisms.

I have bought items from the Berkshire FHS before so no problem there

Thanks
Pauline

Thank you Suz and Chris.
Suz, I have been looking at the new GRO search site, brilliant, and have found the death entry for John Pearce, Newbury Dec qtr 1850.  His age on the certificate is 73 which differs from the age at burial. There's a surprise!
Anyway, I think I might send for the cert.  Online PDFs are £6.  A little better that the postage cert and more like it used to be.
And Chris, your info looks very good.  I don't suppose there is any way of getting copies of the info of the 1815 census.  And the baptism is spot on.  Can I find that online?
Once again, many thanks
Pauline

Hello and thank you for replying

I had found the baptism of John Pearse in 1767, but not the burial or marriage.

John Peirce, the bookbinder, was born  c1809 as far as I can work out, so the marriage is a possibility.  I don't know the bookbinder's mothers name.  I only found out his fathers name and the fact that his father was 'deceased'  when the bookbinder was awarded the Freedom of the City of London, so the burial is also possible. 

Thank you again

With regards to the above, it might help if I got the century right!!

I have guessed that John Peirce, victualler, was born c 1770.

Berkshire / John Peirce - victualler in Newbury late 17 century
« on: Thursday 03 November 16 18:30 GMT (UK)  »
I found a while ago that John Peirce (victualler in Newbury)  was the father of John Peirce (c1809-31st July 1888) a bookbinder, born in Newbury, but married and living in London.  The bookbinder John, was awarded the Freedom of the City of London in October 1866 and his father was mentioned.
This was the first time that I knew the forename of the father of the bookbinder John.  I have not been able to find the baptisms of either John Peirce....and yes, I have looked at various spelling of the surnames.
Any help or suggestion of directions to go forward would be very welcome
Thank you
