Mildred Pearce

Mildred Pearce was the first child of Samantha and Gabriel Pearce. She grew believing in her early years both that her parents were in love and that Constance Pearce was Gabriel's biological daughter. Both of these things were proven false in 1959, when it was discovered that Constance's biological father was, in fact, Benjamin Hartley. As a result of such a discovery, her mother was kicked out of her home by Gabriel and committed suicide, and her father killed Benjamin and was executed because of this.

Mildred's fate following these events taking place is unknown; however, Samantha states that she, along with Bartholomew, Edmund Hartley, Constance, and Archibald Hartley, was most likely sent to an orphanage and then, once reaching adulthood, had to work in a factory.
