Thread: Elizabeth shears

please can you find any info on Elizabeth Shears born in 1852

in Lymington Hampshire, I have found her on census 1891 in Southampton,

afer that I seem to have lost her can you help!

I can't see her in 1891. Is Shears her married or maiden name?

Hi Jeuel, I looked too, but couldn't find her. To proceed, I think we need some clarification from Flannery. See this thread.

Can you post the 1891 census ref, Flannery. Thanks

Looking at previous thread, Elizabeth Shears appears to have married John Garland 1876, and is widowed in 1881. She is in Lymington registration district, says born Chalbury Common 1852. Working as a dressmaker.

Assuming this is the right Elizabeth Shears Garland and she did marry a Mr Pearce, though I can't find the marriage, this might be her in 1901:

but I won't look for more until flannery confirms or rejects this.

hi thankseveryone for info, She did marry a John Garland, I dont have the reference on the 1891 census but in that year acc. to my other info she

was married to my Great Grand

Father Edward Pearce they had a son who was 5 years old,b. 1886 and 1 daughter b. 1889 and lived at Southampton,in 1901 census I have Elizabeth living at 200, priory Road Southampton with 2 more children mabel 9 and Mabel 7 yrs old.

I do not know the marriage date of her marriage to Edward, maybe she was married to Edward first, then JOHN? but I would love to know when she died.

Ok, Flannery - so is this her in 1891?
