Southampton, sholling lookup - Pearce

[floggle toggle]

I am trying to trace one of my uncle's.

George Cecil Pearce b 20.11.1914 Sholling Southampton.
Farther Arthur Walter Pearce married Lily May Fisher - IGI.
Arthur was something to do with farm ploughing, uncle George had a picture of him with a horse drawn plough - I "think" he had won a competition.

Any help with dates etc. would be very helpful, thankyou.

Thankyou Suz, that's great.
That gets me back a bit more, (maybe I can find the ploughing thing now I know a birth date). I think he did not like the name "Cecil":
However, any ideas where they might have come from?
There was a rootchat about "Pearce" in June from flannery, The Pearce's there were from Dorset, so they "could" have come from there.

I think I have them in 1901
if that is the type of info you want - living in a farm cottage

Piles Farm (there are several houses with this address -so possibly they are cottages belonging to Piles Farm?)
Henry Pearce head M 54 Carter on Farm Sutton Corsey hants
Jane wife 54 Pewsey Wilts
Sam (? Tom on earlier census?) son 16 Carter on Farm Romsey hants
Arthur W son 8 Wortley hants
RG13 1080 93 16

there are several Arthur Pearce's b abt same time in various areas  of hants - but this is the only Arthur Walter I could find. To me he seems to be the "best bet" but the purchase of Arthur and Lily's marriage cert would confirm.

We are not allowed to post 1911 census (copyright issues and it is pay peer view or by subscription) but I can tell you there was only Arthur home with parents - he was a labourer as was his  father . They lived at 47 Newtown Rd Woolston nr Southampton

Yes I know all about copyright, it is a good thing, but it does "put a damper on things sometimes".
