Yes, it was another red herring after all. But, I must say, it is fun chasing after them sometimes.
In the census of 1881, Elizabeth Durston (Pearce), she of the photograph, was living with her husband, children, and widowed mother in Weston Rd.
Simon and Elizabeth Pearce (not widowed), were both alive and living together on Easton Square. So, there it is. The woman in the photograph taken in 1931 is not Simon's & Elizabeth's daughter, so is not a close relation after all. She just felt like it for 24 hours.
Old Simon and family looked like they must have been doing well for themselves though. There was a "general servant" listed in the household census this time.
