Looking for Lewis & Purcell c1840 Kings Court?, Ireland
« on: Wednesday 22 July 09 01:31 BST (UK) »
My Great Grandparents were James Lewis born abt 1841 in Kings Court?, Ireland and Mary Purcel born abt 1854 in Kilkenny, Ireland. They married in Queensland, Australia in 1876 and had 10 children, all of which I have identified. 
The following information appears on their marriage Certificate. The parents of James were James Lewis (Farmer) and Mary White. The parents of Mary were Martin Purcel (Farmer) and Catherine Purcel. (Seems strange that Catherine's maiden name was Purcel also).

Can anyone help with information from Ireland?
 :) :) :)

HI - sent another email earlier today.  We are definitely related - I am the great granddaughter of Martin Purcel(l) and Catherine Purcel(l).  Maybe they were cousins?  Have very little info on the Purcel(l) Lewis side of the family - having great difficulty.
I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and I would love to be in contact with you.  i have the same info as you have as appearing on marriage certificate.  Maybe we will be able to help each other as no doubt, we are definitely related.  My maiden name was McDonell - my grandmother's maiden name was Lewis and her parents were Martin and Catherine Purcel(l).
Oh what a lucky day this is for both of us.  Please contact me and we will then be able to exchange phone numbers and chat indefinitely about our ancestors and beautiful Ireland.

Looking forward to heraing from you very soon.

Kind regards
Marion
