This is very exciting. I have had email contact this week from a direct descendent of Isabella's older brother, Bartholomew Comben Pearce, and this distant cousin sounds lovely. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, which is even more fun, because of my connection with that part of the States, and has got all kinds of information to share, as she has been working on family research since the 1980s.
Bartholomew Comben Pearce immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1871, via Quebec (not sure how long he stayed there yet), and lived out the rest of his life in Cleveland, working as a stone mason. So, now we know the fate of the first of Isabella's siblings. I shall update and correct all information as I get it, and I think there might be quite a lot, from the sounds of things.
By the way, this is the same person that I had tried to contact using an out of date email address last year that I refer to in the September 26th, 2011 blog entry.
