Hi and welcome

Did you get Ann's maiden name from one of their children's birth certs?

Hi Ston
Welcome to the Forum and good luck with your search.
I'm a Pearce by marriage, they were from Staffs, no Walkers soz.

Tina

My server went down just as I posted 1881
15 Angel St Stockport
Edward 39 bn Belfast tailor
Ann 39 tailoress bn Staffs
Wm 13 & Ann 10 both bn Lpool
Jane 9 born Belfast
Mary 6, Rosina 2 bn Stockport

1871 in Everton
Wm 3, Ann baby.

Tina

Rosina's birth is on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk mother's maiden name given as PIERS. She was born in 1878 registered Stockport.

Ive found an Edward Walker bn Ireland 19 boarding in Manchester in 1861 census, he's a tailor.
Worth keeping to one side I reckon.

Tina

Good find Hilary.
Piers was the original name from Normandy.
Sadly it looks like Edward died aged 38 in june qtr 1881 Stockport.
Ann is widowed in 1891, and Jane is listed as born Ireland, so they must have gone back for a short while.

Tina

Hi All

Thanks for all the replies.

Maiden name of Anne came from Birth record of sibling born in Belfast

Hi Ston
I don't have any Pearce info for Eccleshall but that doesn't mean a thing,
they moved around, changed their birth places, you name it
Most lived in Stone, not that far from Eccleshall, to us today, some list Stafford as their birth place, not far either, or Gnosall. Some change it to Shrops.
In census Ann/e could be with any number of parents if she was still in Staffs. Free BMD don't list Eccleshall as a rego area.
Sorry me dear, not a lot of help.

Tina

off topic I can tell you the Pearce crest has an amulet which means Piers was a knight.
The Pearce's fought at the Battle of Bloor Heath in the War of the Roses.

1901 is interesting
Ann is 59 wid at 103 Bramhall Lane, Stockport tailoress born HANLEY Staffs.
Mary dghtr is with her 26 bn Stockport, hat trimmer.
Different birthplace, (typical Pearce )

Ches BMD have a civil marriage for Rosina Walker 1899 to John Cryer.
