Shep's Place Family Tree

His first charge was a Burnley Baptist Church in Lancashire ‎(Feb. 1887)‎ followed by Wolverhampton in May 1890, and later Loughborough.

At the time of the 1891 English census Pearce lived in Burnley, Lancashire. He was a 29-year-old widower Baptist minister who had a daughter aged one year. Her name was Edith D.G. Edith's mother Dora had died giving birth to her. Two servants helped in the house and with the baby.

It was in Burley that Pearce met Alice Hurtley who became his second wife later in 1891. They had three daughters, Elsie, Olive and Gladys.

From 1900 to 1907 the Careys lived in Melbourne, Victoria, in Australia. They moved quite often. Some of their residences were in Wolverhampton, Burnley, Stockton-on-Tees, Loughborough, Portsmouth and Calcutta.

Pearce published 'Samuel Pearce, the Baptist Brainerd' and 'William Carey, D.D., Fellow of Linnaean Society.' In the cover of the Carey book is written "Alfred Marshman 1925 A descendant of the Missionary".
