Description
Henry John Piercy (1860-1933) was a great uncle of Wesley Piercy (cousin to Wesley's grandfather Thomas Piercy). Henry was married to Emma Bowes in 1884 and worked as a gardener. In 1901 he was working in Euston, Suffolk, for the Duke of Grafton at Euston Hall. In 1911 Henry and Emma were back in Reepham and in 1921 Henry was working for the Kendrews on the Ollands estate and, as his address is Norwich Road he may have occupied one of the two cottages that belonged to the estate. Emma died in 1915 and the following year Henry married Fanny Hilda Archer. Henry died in 1933 and both he and Fanny are buried in the Whitwell Road Cemetery.
The photographs of Henry and Fanny suggest they were taken at their wedding in 1916.
