I am hoping somebody will be able to help me solve the following problem. My Great Grandmother Elizabeth Pearce (nee James) married Charles Roger Pearce of Ludlow in 1899. They lived in Ludlow all their lives. Elizabeth Pearce was killed in a Motor bike accident sometime after 1909 and Charles remarried a Nancy? Sometime after this. The family can’t remember when all this took place and I have searched Free BDM and Ancestry and can’t find a death date for Elizabeth or a 2nd marriage date for Charles Pearce. They know that Charles Pearce and Nancy were living together in the 1940’s as they took in war workers from Birmingham. Elizabeth was born in 1873 in Kingsland, Hereford Charles was sometimes known as Roger Pearce. Can anyone shed any light on this problem? paul -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi Paul, I did find them in the 1901 census but that was all. There were some Elizabeth Pearce's on the bmds for deaths in the right time frame. Where did she die? I think the death would be registered wherever the accident took place. Likewise, do you know where Charles might have remarried? I have two paid sites I could check but we'd need to narrow the info down first. Val C.
