Research Notes

The birth date of 1892 conflicts with the stated age at death (according to the paper). There is a borth of an Arthur Edward Pearse in Stoke upon Trent, Staffordshire during 1877 that matches the age^[4] however there appears to be an infant death for this birth as well.^[5]

There is an 1881 England census that matches the parents name on the death registration:^[6]

• Alfred W Pearce Head Male 33 Burnham, Somerset, England
• Susannah Pearce Wife Female 30 Huntspill, Somerset, England
• Annie L Pearce Daughter Female 5 Burnham, Somerset, England
• Frederick H Pearce Son Male 3 Burnham, Somerset, England
• Arthur E Pearce Son Male 1 Burnham, Somerset, England^[7]
