Biographies
Frances married William Pearce ( recorded as a sawyer) 8 Nov 1843 in Launceston and they travelled to South Australia in Nov 1845 becoming settler in the state. They had 3 children - William Pearce (b. 1847), Martha Pearce (b.1848) and (Basil) George Pearce (b. 1850). They lived and presumably worked in the area known as the New Tiers where logging and timber work was the principal activity. Frances became a single parent and her three children appear in the records of the SA Destitute Asylum. Frances herself appeared in court numerous times on charges of disorderly behaviour and prostitution. She died in the Adelaide Asylum for Insane in 1874 and had a pauper's burial.
