Hi thanks for your time!! I do have some information but it is a bit sketchy. I do have Edward and an Sarah on the 1841 censu both born in Boldre,his occupation is a chimney sweep. as the date I have been given for his birthis about 1783but the dates given via the census would make him a bit older as it shows him being 55 in 1841, and Sarah as 50. There seems to have been a fashion of Edward Pearce for a few generations which does'nt help with the confusion either. They were recorded as living at Quay Hill, which is in Lymington, from whence we do know that's where most of the decending Pearce's are from. I dont have any parish records from Boldre, I have tried to access them, but without any luck. There does appear a Pheobe Pearce on an 1851 census, as a widow, aged 64, but as I dont really know the geography of the area it may be a red herring too. As she also had a son, Edward Pearce who was 30 in 1851, but cannot make any definate connections with the ones from Boldre. To make matters more complicated, there were several Edward's married to Sarah's too. Hope this can make some sense to you! Again thanks for your time and efforts!! Regards Jess
