Research Notes

Note: Check emigration to Australia as cannot find a Thomas Pearce emigration after 1881- Cannot find any further census records. However Mary and seven children are listed on the Coptic Departure Date: 19 Apr 1890 Port of Departure: Plymouth, England Destination Port: Melbourne, Australia. As he had 5 children in 1881 he must have left after late 1884 (Lillian was baptized June 1885) and before 1890 assuming he was in Australia before his wife.
