Hope somebody may be able to help with this one. Looking for baptism/birth of George Pearce. From Census and a marriage it’s suggested he was born 1844-1847. His father was declared as George Pearce, dockworker. All census records where we can find him, 1881-1911, George Jnr says born Southampton. We know he married twice, his first wife was Kate, no further details known. He ended up in Romford area marrying a second time , in 1910, to a Florence Woods. Hoping his birth can be found, there are a number of possibilities in Southampton City and adjacent locations. Maybe also a marriage, but not sure if he got hitched in Southampton or London Any help gratefully acknowledged.
