April A-Z Challenge – P

The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is a challenge put out to bloggers to publish a post from A-Z every day in April, except for Sundays. April 1 is A, and so on throughout the month. Bloggers can post randomly or on a theme. The theme I have chosen is ‘My Ancestors’. I used this same theme for the Blogging from A-Z April Challenge in 2015. This time the ancestors posted about will mostly be more distant members of the family. Hopefully, when combined this will form a full picture of my family history.

EMILY LOUISA PIERCE was married to my great great uncle JAMES LLOYD TAYLOR. Emily was born in 1857 at Yan Yean, Victoria, Australia to parents SHADRACH PEARCE and EMILY BERNE. Emily was known as Louie.

Emily and James married in 1873 at Whittlesea, Victoria and went on to have a large family of 12 children:

CHARLES JOHN,
JAMES PEARCE,
HENRY LLOYD,
ELLEN ROSMUND,
FANNY LOUISA,
FREDERICK WILLIAM MURRAY,
ERNEST ARTHUR,
WINIFRED,
DOROTHY JANE
GEORGE ALFRED,
ALLEN FERGUS,
EDITH EMILY

Emily passed away in 1950 at Kew, Victoria, age 92 years. She was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery with her husband who had pre-deceased her in 1910
