United Kingdom Queries

The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland (Ulster).  The name Pace is English and so far, no Paces in the UK outside England are known to the Pace Network.  However, this page is set up for all of the United Kingdom, just in case.

For geographically challenged Americans -- confused about the meanings of Britain, England, United Kingdom, British Isles, etc?  Click here for an explanation.

The following is a query from Utah, with 19th century ancestors from Durham.  It may be of interest to UK researchers:

Subj: Pace family of Utah and England From: lsfmazy@netxxpress.net (Larry and Kristen Fullmer)

I found your page on the internet and hope that you could place my information on there as well. I did not see anything that matched mine. I have all of the children from the last generation I listed. Maybe someone else will spot it and contact me...(My husband's mother is Susan Pace listed in the last generation!)

Thanks, Kristen Mazy Fullmer PO Box 685 Ely, NV 89301

NOTE: Jan lives in England (the .uk at the end of her e-mail address = United Kingdom.)

[Webmaster: Jan shared some personal information in a later email. I like for us to get to know each other, and besides, it's educational.  Here it is:]

I live in Northampton now right in the middle of England, I was born and brought up in Staffordshire, virtually where my ancestors have lived for generations. My Mother is Welsh though so I have relatives all over, my parents and 2 of my sisters still live in Staffs. My son goes to a private school here, we have Public Schools as well but they are usually very old expensive private schools. [NOTE: this is a response to my comment that I had heard the terms "public school" and "private school" had opposite meanings in England and here. I taught in a public school in the U.S. -Webmaster.]

Our records certainly back to the mid 19th century are excellent, before then it was not necessary to register births and deaths so it is a bit hit and miss. -Jan

Dear Jan,

I've just scanned over the PaceNetWrk UK Queries page and can hardly believe my eyes!!

I believe your father's cousin, CHARLES PACE, who you mention emigrated to OTTAWA c.1930 and married the daughter of a jeweller, is very likely my uncle Charlie, my father's brother..

My father was THOMAS HENRY PACE, 1914 - 1964 born Abram, Lancashire

His father was CHARLES VICARAGE PACE 1871 - 1926 who married ANNIE ARCH

1868 - 1964

Their origins were in Staffordshire, I know, and are related to Squires of Wednesfield, near Wolverhamton, and New Invention. My aunts have visited there. Two aunts survive, in their 90's yet. Two of four SQUIRE brothers, married two PACE sisters:

James Lane Squire 1848-1920 married Emily Pace 1849-1915 (8 children)

Norwood, Ont.

Henry T. Squire 1850-1937 married Mary Ann Pace 1856-1941 (no children)

Norwood, Ont.

Joshua Pace, 1864-1917 is also burried in Norwood cemetary.

Henry Pace of Lethbridge, Alberta....b. ? - d.March 1899

I've been trying to learn the relationship of Joshua to Henry & Frederick Pace because my grandfather died out there in Lethbridge too. Joshua, from the Bronderbund records, may be the JW Pace who farmed at Nanton, Alberta, not far north of Lethbridge. Joshua is burried with Emily, Mary Ann, etc.

I've been trying to their relationship to my grandfather. My grandfather's sister, another Mary Ann, I'm told married a Haynes and a large family of them resides at London, Ontario.

Your grandfather, EDWARD PACE born 1874, Pelsall, Staffordshire, must be my grandfather's brother.

If any of this "rings a bell" we can go on

NOTE:  They did go on, and I have consolidated these queries on a special page for the Straffordshire-Ontario connection.  Click here.  -Webmaster
