So looks like its two brothers then - so all the children listed are cousins or brothers and sisters depending!

Looking at census and births and 1939 (unless child staying with aunt/uncle)

Albert and Mary had
Dora Ellen 1906
Albert Henry 1909
Harold George 1911 (? has to be if Archie also 1911 unless twins and Archie not showing on register)
Nancy Beatrice Maud 1916

and Frederick and Eva had
Edith Annie1905
Shirley John 1907
Archibald 1911
Rita May 1915
Eva Blanche 1916

Leaving (with my best guesses, but they are guesses - you NEED certificate)
Henry George 1912 - Fred and Eva if Albert and Mary has a Harold George Q2 1911
Mary 1914 - Albert and Mary - after Mother, she's Q2 1914 and Rita Q1 1915 so too close to be siblings
George 1921 - Albert and Mary if Mary's sister
Joyce 1922 - ?? Fred and Eva if George 1921

Probates - https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

FREDERICK THOMAS PEARCE of 19 Monmouth Street, Topsham Devonshire died 31 October 1945. Probate Llandudno 1 March to Eva Blanche Pearce widow and Shirley John Pearce carpenter. Effects £460

EVA BLANCHE PEARCE of 19 Monmouth Street Topsham Devonshire widow died 1 May 1948 probate Exeter 30 September to Shirley john Pearce and Harold George Pearce carpenters
So does that blow my logic of who is whose out of the window or was the probate to son and nephew?

MARY LEWIS PEARCE of 69 Fore Street, Topsham Devonshire widow died 9 August 1960 at 29 Victoria Street Exeter Probate Exeter 29 August to Albert Henry Pearce bricklayer and George Pearce general labourer Effects £429 10s 6d

a copy of the wills might help to sort out who is who.

Ancestry suggests that Archibald is Harold George, who was born 1911.

Thats all very good -thanks-think a couple of wrong children though. I Think Nancy belongs o the other parents - theres a Mary Pearce thats not on FreeBMD.
def need certs or baptisms to confirm things. All parents buried in unconsecrated ground interestingly.
