Incredible. I still cannot believe what has come into my hands today: a book that Mum had, called Old Portland: the eighteenth and nineteenth century Memoirs of Elizabeth Pearce (later White) and Clara Jane White (later King Warry) of Portland Isle, Dorset.
!!!!!!! Just when I was bemoaning the fact that I wasn't finding anything about the women of Portland, I now have a mother-lode of information. It is jam-packed full of riches. And will this Elizabeth Pearce be one of our Pearces? That would be too much to hope for, but I'll settle for distant cousin.
I must get back to it now, as I have to go into work for a few hours soon.
