Leslie's death.

Name: Leslie Thomas Pearce
Birth Date: 4 Jan 1928
Date of Registration: Nov 2002
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Waltham Forest
Inferred County: London
Register Number: B63
District and Subdistrict: 2551B
Entry Number: 234

Possible marriage?

NAME:  Leslie T Pearce
SPOUSE:  Parfett
MARRIAGE:  Mar 1952  - Epping, Essex
OTHER:  QJan-Jan-Feb-Mar 1952

FreeBmd shows a number of Pearce/Parfett births, although without the BC it's difficult to decide if they have the 'correct' parents.
Probably the one in Essex SW 1957 is right. The others (to 1962) are more likely to have parents married in 1955 Stoke Newington.

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 19 Nov 2015 13:30

Dorris Pearce was registered as Doris L Pearce, Epping reg. Lilian after his sister?

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 20 Nov 2015 17:16

If Doris L married in the Epping Reg like her brother, then it could have been in 1950 to a Mr Cole.
Alternatively there is a Doris L to a Mr Sullivan in Romford reg, 1952.

Quite a few Cole/Pearce births 1950-1970 but none in Essex
The same for Sullivan/Pearce 1952-1972. None stand out.

Alternatively, the informant on Stanley's DC could be a relative. He would probably have informed Daisy's death.
