Paula

Do you have a Rev. John Purchas  (1823-1872) Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist, in your family?

Hi Paula

These are the two London apprenticeship records I found which may well refer to Richard (snr),  the dates would be about right


1686  Dimock John, son of ..., Winslow, Buckinghamshire, maltster, to Richard Purchase, 23 Aug 1686, Woolmen's Company 

1681  Hackney John, son of John, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, woolwinder, to Richard Purchase, 25 Jun 1681, Woolmen's Company

No Purchas's but gives 1660-1695 as disserters have problems.

Hi again

This seems to be a variation on the spelling of Purchas and Denchfield:

I haven't come across a John Purchas yet, Deb, but he sounds a likely candidate for a relation.

You're right Debbie, those dates would be about right...

Gosh Debs,

You must be good!  Your eyes must be so good to be this fast!  You have my admiration!  Brilliant

I will come back and try and keep up later!
