Tipperary / Re: Thomas Beston
« on: Friday 14 May 10 09:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I have just found that my grandfather's mother was Julia Beston and her father was Thomas. From her birth certificate her mother was Elizabeth Charlotte Blake. I'd be very interested in any more info yo might have on the Beston line.
Thanks

Thanks for the return journey info. I had no idea he came back for good. As for the divorce, who knows. He did have a brother Alfred! He is proving very elusive.

Many thanks :)
Having a spurt of activity on updating the files. I was always told that any Purkins with a "u" was related, however some of them in the past changed the "u" to an "e"!!
Thanks again

Canada Lookup Request / Purkins - death? marriage?
« on: Sunday 02 May 10 00:03 BST (UK)  »
I have found that my grandfather's brother Harry Purkins b 1897 in Marylebone, London emigrated in 1929 on the Aurania to Halifax Nova Scotia with his wife Letitia and a daughter Eva born 1916.

He apparently came back to Newcastle to visit his brother some time in WW2. We believe he returned to Canada and married again.

We don't where he lived or died or if his daughter Eve married or whether he went on to have more children. This has been a brick wall for years so any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Barbara

Hi Karen, thanks for your email. I have got some documentation - a marriage certificate for William's 2nd Wife. Send me your email address and I'll try and dig it out and send it to you. If there is a connection I'd like to hear about his descendants. When I have updated my Purkins file with recent research I'll send it to you.
Kind regards

Barbara
