We arrived at Heathrow at 5:30 AM. We picked up our car from National Car and headed out on the M4 for Wales.
We called cousin, Geoff and arranged to meet him at the Magor First Services (the services off the motorway for Magor. We got a latte and knew Geoff immediately when he walked in. He gave us a preview of our Pearce Family History agenda before following him to his house in Cardiff. There, we met his wife, Kate and their adorable cat, Tess.
Geoff dropped us off at our hotel about 2 PM and we had a chance to get a few hours of sleep before our pickup for dinner. On the way to Usk, we stopped at the Caerleon Roman Fortress on the banks of the River Usk.
Our first stop in Usk was at the Usk Parish Church where Joseph Pearce married Susannah Rosser on November 14, 1837 and where Josiah was baptized. The church was closed, but we were able to wander through the cemetery locating several Pearce graves.
Dinner was at the Three Salmons, a beautiful old restaurant (with hefty dinner prices)
