PURCELL family help needed - Victoria

[majm]

Hi Newbe,

The details in reply #4 were the best .... but I am now trying to find when/where Pierce Purcell arrived too !

Pierce and Margaret PURCELL were of course in the 1850's parents to at least two adult lads, John and Patrick.... John arrived NSW in 1850 and was apparently still in the vicinity of Sydney (Surry Hills) when Patrick left Ireland as an assisted immigrant in 1854...

Here's hoping I can find the arrival of those lads parents... and that when I do, I can get as much detail as I found for Patrick's 1854 arrival.

Cheers,  JM

Bit More,

1856 Electoral Roll for East Bourke, Whittlesea, Victoria
there's a Pierce Purcell, leaseholder at Darebin Creek .... (I'm not familiar with that area, could be Dorobin or Darobin etc)

Cheers,

JM

Also,

I have NOT found Pierce Purcell arriving in Aust at all, but I'm a tad eye-sore... and not really that familiar with Vic records, and definitely not familiar with Welsh or Irish records... But there's Pierce Purchell of Kilkenny on the Irish Land Valuations records apparently...

Cheers, Catch up later.
