James PEARCE

   Research Notes:

Of Illogan in the christening record.

One secondary source shows the husband of Eliza Harris as James Pearce son of John Pearce and Mary Sparnon, christened 1827 in Illogan, though the latter James' christening date was actually 11 Jul 1824 in Illogan. However, the fact his first three children were named Eliza Hoskin, Elizabeth Hosking and Christian, favours John Pearce and Christian Hoskin as the parents of James who married Eliza Harris.
