Probably a complete red-herring but. . . .
My grandfather's 2nd wife  was Daisy Pearce, b 1880 in Piddle Hinton, Dorset.
Parents Robert Cooper Allen Pearce (1843-1889) and Francis Susan Hann.

Piddle Hinton  ;D

Great name!  Close to where I was born in Wyre Piddle, a village on the river Avon close to Piddle Brook.  :)

Thanks to everyone who joined in the hunt for James Pearce, it is much appreciated.  For the time being he will remain a mystery!

Thank you so much, I really do appreciate your effort and for taking the time.  At least I know I've not missed anything.  Isn't it funny how people can just disappear!  I wonder if he went abroad, but it doesn't seem likely in those days.

I've just noticed this - James Pearce lived at 65 Bournville Lane in 1901 when Emma Amelia was his visitor.  In 1911 James Pearce and Emma were living at 35 Bournville Lane - and in 1911 Thomas Bagnall Collins lived at number 65, who she married in 1915!
