I have gone at this from every direction I can think of and come up with absolutely nothing.
Sorry not to have been able to help.

Thank you so much, I really do appreciate your effort and for taking the time.  At least I know I've not missed anything.  Isn't it funny how people can just disappear!  I wonder if he went abroad, but it doesn't seem likely in those days.

I've just noticed this - James Pearce lived at 65 Bournville Lane in 1901 when Emma Amelia was his visitor.  In 1911 James Pearce and Emma were living at 35 Bournville Lane - and in 1911 Thomas Bagnall Collins lived at number 65, who she married in 1915!

Thanks to everyone who joined in the hunt for James Pearce, it is much appreciated.  For the time being he will remain a mystery!

Puddletown was once called Piddletown, as the River Piddle runs by it.

Great name!  Close to where I was born in Wyre Piddle, a village on the river Avon close to Piddle Brook.  :)

Probably a complete red-herring but. . . .
My grandfather's 2nd wife  was Daisy Pearce, b 1880 in Piddle Hinton, Dorset.
Parents Robert Cooper Allen Pearce (1843-1889) and Francis Susan Hann.

Piddle Hinton  ;D

Presumably she said she was a widow on the 1915 marriage to Thomas Collins?

I don't have her marriage certificate - think I'll order it, should be interesting!  As far as I know she didn't divorce James Henry Leake (I believe most people couldn't afford to divorce in those days) as far as I know she was still married to him and he died in 1952.

Hi CassieP,

I checked 35 Bournville Lane against the 1921 census and it appears Emma Amelia is still living there but is now the wife of Thomas Collins, do you already have this information?

No help with what happened to James Pearce of course but I’ll keep trying.

Thanks, yes Thomas Bagnall Collins was my mother's step-father, he and Emma Amelia adopted her in 1919.  I appreciate your help in trying to find the elusive James Pearce!

PEARCE    James B    64    King's N.    6c   411
Although the age is a few years out

I thought that looked promising, but the GRO index shows his name as James Bayliss Pearce, who can be found living in Smethwick in 1911, and was born in Liverpool.

Thanks, also I've not seen that he has a middle initial anywhere.
