Hi everyone,

cheers,

Gary

*****************************

Info on Damaris Aubrey Wilce (probably didn't like the original spelling as everyone knew her as Damaris Aubrey but

she was actually born Damoris Aubery):

Born:
Wilce, Damoris Aubery. Pontypridd. 11a 772. Registered in April/May/June 1910. Born 22 April 1910.

Parents:
Tom (1877) & Mary Wilce (nee Morgan) (1878)
Tom was a Collier (coal-miner).
We believe the family are originally from Gloucestershire. We think a relative ran a pub there (The Crown Inn near Cinderford), before moving to Wales. Tom later went back to run the pub until it shut in the early 1920's (???).
In the 1911 Census, they have three boarders where they live in Pontypridd. Mary is 28 and Tom is 36.
Mary Morgan's parents may have owned a farm in Gloucestershire (Monmouthshire).

Siblings:
Lydie Mary born in 1900 first child died
Tom 1912
Eve Anne 1913
Cavel 1915
Avis B 1919
Graham M 1921 (Wilce, Graham M. Mothers maiden: Morgan. Pontypridd. 11a 1496 (april/may/june 1921)

Marriage:
John Gilbert Pearce 1929. Pontypridd. 11a 1253. (oct/nov/dec).

Sandra Pearce (now Sandra Cross). Currently Southampton.
Paul Raymond Pearce
Micheal Robin Pearce (my wife's Dad). Currently Perth, Australia.
Gilbert Pearce. Currently Southampton.
Dolores Pearce. Currently Southampton.
Barry Pearce. Currently Southampton.
Neville Willis Pearce. Currently Southampton.

Death:
Bronchial pneumonia (after 1 week). 1st of September 1946. County Mental Hospital Roundway. Getting some more information from the hospital. They did say that on the records she was only in the Mental Hospital for 2 days and she died (was transferred from Salisbury clinic). She was very weak and thin but refused to eat any food. Sounds to us like she may have had depression and wanted to die??
Buried at St John's Church, Church Hill, Shaftesbury.

After Damaris' death, John married Emily Elizabeth (don't know maiden name), and had:
Jean Pearce

Pearce, John Gilbert. Died 1976, S'ton.
