Samuel Henry Pearce

[Mrs_Pearce]

Hello all,

I am looking to find when & where Samuel Henry Pearce, wife, Ellen Pearce (nee Rendall/Rendell) & son Roland Henry immigrated to Australia from England. It would be around the year 1885 & I'm guessing it was to Sydney as they had a daughter born in 1887 in Sydney.

I have had no luck looking for them on the NSW State Archives website.

(If you have any further details on them it would also be appreciated )

Hi and welcome

Samuel Henry Pearce and Ellen Rendell seem to have married in Fulham in Dec qtr 1884 and had Roland Henry in Kensington in Dec qtr 1885, so as you say that leaves a narrow window of opportunity of a year or so for the emigration if there is a Sydney birth in 1887.

Hope someone can find the voyage for you. In the meantime let us know what further details you're seeking and we will see what we can do.

Hi. Welcome to Rootschat, Hope we can help.

Your Samuel and Ellen had 5 children between 1887 and 1894. They were living at inner adjoining Sydney Suburbs of PETERSHAM and LEICHHARDT.
Constance C. Ref #9025/1887
Lillian L. Ref#6399/1889

William C. Ref#19206/1893
Edwin E. Ref#18627/1894.

If your Samuel H pearce was the son of Samuel and Catherine then he died early in 1896. Ref#13985/1896
There is also the possibility that Ellen did not survive long either if she was the daughter of George and Jane then she died in 1911. Ref #16089/1911

Constance married 1909 Ref # 5748/1909 TO ROBERT J  NORRIS

Thank you Cando,

I too am still having no luck  strange strange strange! haven't had this much trouble finding other ancestor's immigration.......

[Mrs_Pearce]

Wondering if anyone has any further luck on this family??

My husband's line is through William C Pearce's line (Also went b Charles W) from his first marriage (1915).

Is there anywhere else other than the state archives that immigrants lists can be found?

Cheers
