PS: At last I now have Patrick Purcell's parents to add to the tree

Wow, newbe - you must be pleased to have all that extra info    Judith

I am very pleased indeed

It may have cost me a bit more but was worth the wait I think

At least I now have Patrick and Agnes Parents so that makes things a bit easier.

Am not sure where to go next in searching as I have now found James McArthur PURCELL anywhere in Australia or New Zealand

It looks like we had Patrick Purcell's parents wrong earlier on in the thread so it is good to finally know who they are now.

Have not ordered his death printout in NZ yet but that is next on my list of things to do

Have just received this the other day from gerryp66

Am a Purcell researcher (some 30 years) just recently joined Rootschat.
Noted your thread re Patrick Purcell & Cecilia Wood, Agnes McArthur and Mary Ann Shannahan.  Patrick was born Askeaton, Limerick, christened 26 Feb 1841 to parents James P. and Bridget MINITOR.

I have details of the descendants of Patrick P. and Mary Ann SHANNAHAN.
Also have Patrick's brothers as Thomas, James and David. Have their christening dates but nothing else at present.
I was previously unaware of his marriage to Agnes McARTHUR, their son James McArthur P. or of the two sons to Cecilia WOOD (John WOOD and Patrick Joseph P.).
Patrick and Cecilia had two daughters Margaret, b. 24Jul1858 (IGI) would appear to have died before 1860, and the Margaret born 17Aug1860 (VIC RGO 1860/19028) but IGI says17Aug1861 . May not be right as it appears that the first Margaret was born the same day Patrick and Cecilia got married (IGI is not always reliable) ??
My interests stem from a one name study of the PURCELLs of Australasia.  30 years part-time effort to date has resulted in a database of over 16,500 Purcells.  Still putting the jigsaw together.  Happy to share what I do have.

I have told him that Patrick and Cecilia never married. I am now wondering if Patrick had his mother right on the marriage certificate.  I am waiting for Gerry to get back to me at this stage. I never new he had brothers so more searching to do

Still trying to find info on a James PURCELL and Catherine O'BRIAN who were Patrick PURCELL's parents.  I am thinking this might be hard as no Irish records available.

I do not know if Patrick had siblings or not or if the parents came to Australia.
