    Farmer's son 
    • Working on his father's farm at Eggworthy where a carter / waggoner was also employed - 19 year old Henry Stancombe in 1901, possibly a relation, and a Thomas Pearse in 1911, but aged only 16 too young to be "the" Tom Pearse!

    Farmer 
    • Reported in the Western Morning News in 1946 that he had twin lambs born on New Year's Day!
      Was selling live and dead stock in 1950, as well as some surplus furntiure - "declining farming due to ill-health"

      I'm not quite sure what "declining farming" meant - if he continued to some extent till his death in 1952, the plaque in Sampford Spiney Church would suggest he had started in about 1921, as it says he was "for 31 Years of Stourton in this Parish"
