Fanny Pearce nee Sellwood
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 18:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Would someone be able to look up for Fanny Pearce nee Sellwood and her husband Edwin Thomas H Pearce in the 1891 or 1901 censuses, please?
The only thing I know about them at the moment is that they married in Staines Reg Dist in 1888.  Not much to go on, I know, but it is all I have. The person that I am hoping she is, is Fanny Sellwood b 1860/1 in Lambeth (1871 census) or her mother, Fanny Sellwood b 1837/8 in Cheltenham, Glos. She could be one of my other Sellwoods, however. Sorry to be so vague but I don't want to waste money on the cert until I am more sure as to who she is.
Regards
Victoria

Victoria - hi

She was born in Berkshire, it seems, 1891 says b. 1865 Kingsfield  and 1901 says b. 1867 Shinfield.

If this is your Fanny, I'm happy to post the censuses   ;D

Hello Mum44,
She is not the one I was hoping for, but she is one of mine. If it is not too much trouble I would like the censuses.  Thank you for taking the trouble to find them. My Berkshire lot got everywhere.
Yours

Thanks ever so much Mum44

I will do some research on Edwin Pearce to ascertain his real age. Now that I know he married one of mine I will send for the marriage cert first and see if that clarifies his age. The LDS 1881 may help too.

Thanks again,
Yours

 :) I think you last post about Edwin Pearce  1858 was some time back, but he is in my family tree - his brother was my gtgtgtgranfather - he was Head Gardener @ Sudeley Castle in 1900 ish, and I think a few members of the family ended up in 'service'

Hello Derick,

I must admit to not sending for the marriage cert of Edwin Pearce and Fanny Sellwood because I think I have proved his birth as being
Births Jun 1858  PEARCE  Edwin Thomas Henry     Cheltenham  6a 353
Son of George and Hannah.
The only census that I could not find Edwin in was the 1881, so I wondered if he was serving in the Militia. So far found no definite evidence of that.
His age in 1891 of 22 is, I am sure, an enumerator's error for age 32 which follows for all the other censuses. 
I have that he died in 1924 Kensington RD but I have no death for his wife, Fanny Sellwood.
siblings of Edwin I have as
Thomas W 1849
George Thomas 1851
Mary Ann 1854
Emma 1856
Thomas 1862
Ellen 1864
But I have not followed them, only inasmuch as they appear with Edwin or his parents on censuses.
Which one was your antecedant?
Yours
Vicwinann

Hi, I have nearly the same as you, George H, Thomas W, Emma, Mary Ann, Ellen and Thomas, as well as George Francis John - he was my Gt grnfther, his son Henry Edward was my Grndfther and his son Donald William my father.
G F J was head gardener at Sudeley Castle about 1900, (going back up the line the previous generations were listed as gardeners) and in 1930, another 'Pearce' was the Chauffeur at the Castle, but I don't know yet if he is directly related
