8. Index from the Book "From Almondsbury to Aylmer: The Pearce Letters"
David Porter has written a book based upon letters written by his ancestors who emigrated from Gloucestershire to Aylmer in Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1852 and their relatives in England. The letters give an insight into the reasons people emigrated, supported by information on prices of basic commodities and wages. The letters touch on political events and social changes in Britain, and articulate the Christian faith of their writers. The letters contain significant information on members of the Pearce family remaining in Gloucestershire and their neighbours. The emigrants’ descendants are widely dispersed across Canada and the United States. Click on the title link above to go to the Canadian website where an index is given listing all the surnames mentioned in the book.
