Hi Margaret, I last saw Rosalind and John 30 years ago when we visited Joan in Ipswich and they came over to her house too. We have unfortunately lost contact since then.

Now, getting back to George Pierce . . .

Hi Richard, It must be around the same time frame that we visited Joan and saw Rosalind and John, such a shame to drift apart.  I have some pictures of Septimus unfortunately not as close up as I would have liked but some of the house in Chelsea I presume at 58 College Street as in the 1871 census I also have the original Marriage certificate of Septimus and Sophia where both fathers are described as gentlemen. 
Regards Margaret

I know it is a long shot, but you probably need to check for wills for any Pierce's in Monmouthshire in the 1700's. I don't imagine there would be too many. However, it gets more complicated if the name reverts to patronymics.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Hello,
I'm a Rootschat newcomer, just came across this thread when looking at the Pierce family.
I'm also descended from George Pierce the jeweller, through Captain George's daughter Julia Sarah Langdon Pierce (Smithett), and her daughter Agnes Julia Smithett (Christian-Edwards).
Like everyone else I've drawn a blank as far as George Senior's parents go.
Has anyone else been looking at the Baylis/Patrick/Langdon/Pierce link? I'd very much like to be able to join the dots -
Thanks, Kate W

Hello Kate and a warm welcome to Rootschat :) It's lovely to "meet" another cousin!

I haven't got my FH material with me but have traced some of the Baylis-Patrick-Langdon-Pierce side. From memory some bits of that line ended up in New Zealand I think?

If you let me know which dots you're keen to join up, I'll happily consult my records when I get home and see whether I can help.

Hello Margarita - how lovely to hear from you!  My grandmother (Dorothy, or "D", who died in 2007) spoke so fondly of Minona all her life. Dorothy was one of the daughters of Doris' eldest sister, Mary Winifred (always known as Molly).

I'd love to be in touch - once you have another post to your name we can communicate through Rootshat's private message system if you would like.

Welcome to Rootschat :)
