Surnames: Pierrus
My father was from french descendants but born in the UK or Scotland. First name Gilbert and surname Pierrus. Nickname Jock. Last heard of him was living in South Africa in the 1960's to 1970's.

Hi there
I have just read your message posted 30/01/2000 re above.
I am interested to know if you had any replies to this.
My grandfather was born in South Africa of french descendants and moved to the UK. His name was Anthony Andrew Pierrus. He married my grandmother in 1924 in Sheffield. I wonder if there could be a connection here.

Surnames: Pierrus, Dickens
Hello,

Charmaine is my mother-in-law. I think this is very interesting. I have attached the wedding certificate of Gilbert Pierrus and Barbara Dickens. When I did a brief search, I could only come up with a Pierrus in Sheffield in the censuses of the early 1900s.

It is an unusual name, so would be keen to explore further?

Regards

Gordon
