COMPLETED Baptism Look Up please, 1888, PEARCE Ruby L

[junket]

In 1891, Ruby Lystra PEARCE, is listed in Cornwall on the census as being born in New Zealand.

A google of her name, gives a result for Methven Rakaia and Springburn Births and she is listed on there.

Is there more information available please ?

Her father is John Commons PEARCE born St Agnes Cornwall, 1847.  I loose track of him between 1871 and 1891.

He has a wife Ellen Martha Unknown ( possibly CARLISLE ? as a son is named William Carlisle ), born Ireland 1865.

I cannot find a marriage for him in England ( so far ). In 1911, he states on census he has been married 23 years, which is around 1888, so a possible marriage in New Zealand.

Thank you

Hi,

So were they back in the UK about 1891, and his death was 1925?
