Hi Again Kerry,
Some more information -
Eliza was m. in 1860 the Marriage cert is Tisbury April-Junequarter Vol 5a Page 386.
from the 1881 census
Henry Pearce shepherd b c.1840 at Berwick St Leonard (3 miles away) Eliza is aged 49 and doesnt have a job.
children -
Louis b. c1870 in Boyton - labourer
Alice M b. c1874 in Boyton - domestic servant
Fred b. c1881 in Codford
Ann b. c1882 in Codford
Constance b. c1885 in Codford
Boyton and Codford are villages about 5 miles north of Tisbury. However the most fascinating thing is that the census was taken in Woodford (Durnford just across the River Avon) where my Rawkins ancestors lived in the c17! Maybe they had returned to the family 'home' area?
Hope all this info is useful - shut me up if I'm being a nuisance! If you are a lonng way away from these places, let me have your email address and I will take some photos and send you a map - they are pretty villages not far from my own home.
best wishes,
Bernard
