PEARCE in Dorset
« on: Tuesday 14 June 05 08:58 BST (UK) »
Edward PEARCE married Charlotte Lydia ZELLEY in 1880
and for a few years they would live in the Hope Quay
area of Weymouth.  But has time passed on with young children they moved to the Melcombe Regis area.

Of interest, one of the neighbors in the Hope Quay days
was Samuel BAKER,  Samuel was an older brother
of Elizabeth Ann BAKER who married Charlotte's brother
William John Simpson Zelley in 1875.  Then there was the TIZARD and AYLES families.
Zelley,  Lovell, Godbold, Woods, Phillips, Lewis, Emery,
Magee, Baker, White. Flisher, Kyne, Tilston, Valence/Vallens,
Mabb/Mabbe, Bellamy, Selley, Martha Smith, Arno (of Dartmouth, Devon}.
Dorset, London, Warwick, East Anglia, Kent,  Devon
North Wales          

The ancestors lived here and there, in many scattered
places, with various occupations

For reference I too have PEARCE and AYLES in Portland/Weymouth/Melcombe Regis. However they appear rather earlier in the unfolding of time than those mentioned above.
Ann PEARCE married Edward NEWMAN in 1735.
Ann AYLES married Thomas NEWMAN in 1791.
Any connections welcomed.

Are you just passing on information? Or do you want any help?

No Mr Knott, no help required right now. Thanks for asking though. 
The reason for my post was that I thought I should at least create a portal to my own Pearce and Ayles interest, conscientiously play along the RootsChat game as it were, by setting my connection as to time and place. If my scanty information sparks a contact that would certainly be very welcome, or maybe what I have will be of help to someone else.
I hope to go forward again when the OPC transcription for Dorset is more complete. I did view the Portland parish register when it was kept at the church back in 1974 but I am now too far away from the DRO where it now housed. At that time I only tracked my ancestry forward in time from the Edward-Ann marriage in 1735. Now I have progressed to chasing down the various marriage lines, and unfortunately Edward arrived in Portland from some unknown point of origin - except for what happened when I tried my hand at map dowsing once (no kidding).
