Hi all,

I am trying to find a very elusive pair of brothers. I have nothing except their births-from the VPI.

I would love to find a marriage or death for them, or anything at all really.

Patrick Purcell bn 25 April 1847, born "Cori" Victoria to Patrick and Maria Purcell nee Jackson.

William Purcell bn 15 August 1849 at "Darr", Victoria.

Patrick Snr and Maria were from Kilkenny Ireland and had emigrated to Australia with two sons, John and Robert. Their 2 daughters emigrated later with Nicholas Purcell and Judith/Julia Butler. Patrick and Maria High Plains Camp, Victoria

Patrick and Maria's children were:
John bn Kilkenny 1834, married Mary Ann Moran
Ellen bn Kilkenny 1835, married William Axtill
Mary Ann bn Kilkenny 1838 married Samuel Hayward and James Whitla
Robert bn Kilkenny 1840 married Mary Davis
Richard bn 1842 Gellong, Vic, married Winifred (Amy) Murphy
Catherine bn 1844 "Cori", Victoria married Patrick Doolan, James Mooney and James Curtis
Patrick and William.

I have looked in the VPI, Federation/Edwardian and Gt War indexes and the Victorian Death Index

Thanks

Margot
