PURCELL family help needed - Victoria

[deeiluka]

A Pat Purcell aged 30 also arrived in Victoria on board the Agincourt in February of 1854. 10/205

A Pierse Purcell aged 21 had arrived in Victoria  on board the George Fyffe in July 1841  1/39

Whether they're anything to do with your Patrick and Pierce I don't know.

I have some wonderful news

I have found Patrick PURCELL in NZ

He married a Mary SHANNAHAN in 1867 and they had about 8 or 9 children.

I have just been talking to a cousin in QLD via skype for about an hour so am very happy. I now have more cousins etc to search for

This has been a wonderful journey

Let me know what you think. If you can't read it let me know as well and I will tell you what paper it was in.

So it does look like Patrick PURCELL and Cecilia WOOD were never married.

I had to LOL at it

Is there a way to check and see if there is a marriage in Vic for Patrick PURCELL and this other lady  Agnes in 1862  Richmond.

As I say I have his NZ marriage certificate and it says he is a bachelor on it
