Pearce Family

Researching:
Lilles Mouat Pearce was born in 1880 at Crystal Brook, South Australia. Her parents were James Cresswell Pearce and Joanna Mariah Townsend. Both were born in South Australia, James to Jemima Pearce and James Crosswell in 1850 at Mt Lofty and Joanna to William Anslem Townsend and Agnus Mouat at Angorinchina. In 1874 Lilles married John Brock Fry Jnr (son of John Brock Fry - see Fry family).

James Creswell was my grandfather. Much is known of the Fry family.  The Cresswell/Crosswell link is now well researched, I can supply details upon request.

I would like further details on Joanna Mariah Townsend's family. Her father, William Anslem Townsend was born in Llantwit Juxta, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1815 to William Townsend and Margaret Thomas. Agnus Mouat was born in the Shetland Islands in 1816 to Magnus Mouat and Margorie Sinclair.

I welcome any information on any of these families.
