Hi I am sorry if I am asking a really stupid question.
I am trying to take go back on my tree but i have hit a brick wall with Thomas Pearse 1830 born in Charsdtock. I have found everything else out about him. marrige, death etc. Is it the case of searching parish records for chardstock for baptisms to find out his parents details?

Once again i apologise if i am asking the obvious.
Many Thanks
Natalie

I had a quick look on Hugh Wallis IGI site and unfortunately there are no baptisms for Chardstock.

I would try the Devon Family History soc, they may be able to help or at least tell you where the records are. Some are still in the original Church, others are in Archives.

This is the information i have gathered too

In the 1841 Census Thomas Pearce is age 10
Living at Heors; Thos.; PEARCE; 10; Male servant with Coles family

In the 1851 census thomas is age 21 living as a male servant - working as a farm labourer

1861 census - lived at 33 chardstock village
occupation - carter
age 31

in 1901 census thomas is 76 living with matilda who is 69 - both agricultural workers living on plot of land looks like old bottle

i have just looked at chardstock files online 1841 census

44; Chardstock Village; Ann; PEARSE; 35; Charwoman; No; F30 p9

44; Chardstock Village; Simon; PEARSE; 7; ; Yes; F30 p9

44; Chardstock Village; Ellen; PEARSE; 5; ; Yes; F30 p9

44; Chardstock Village; William; PEARSE; 3; ; Yes; F30 p9

Mother Ann would tie in with family search records at this time thomas and his i assume brother were servants in heors? possible simon died?

Natalie, do you know how to buy the certificate? Go to gro online and enter the gro ref you have above - it will cost £7. (You have the quarter missing above, you will need that)
