Maureen
You really do not furnish many clues for looking for your mothers ancestors
do you not know her parents name?

I did write to you off list but as I have received no reply I am now doing
this via the list
hoping this time I wont be ignored or thrown in the spam basket.

1901 Census Gorey
John Purcell Head of house aged 25 years Railway Labourer-RC
Anne Purcell Wife house wife aged 27
Gretta Purcell daughter aged 4
Resided in Gorey in 1901 in a 2 rooms 3 person residence
No place of birth stated

David Purcell and Bridget Kavanagh had these children in Gorey district
James-31 Mar 1868
Anne-10 Jan 1872
Mary-6 Mar 1875

-------------------------------------------------------

Jane- 16th Feb 1868
Henry-27 Sep 1870
Bessie - 22 April 1873
John - 16th May 1874

-------------------------------------------------------
Philip Purcell and Margaret Caulfield had these children in the Gorey area

Roman Catholics-deaths

Roman Catholic Marriages
LAURENCE PURCELL wed MARGARET KINSELAH 15/9/1875 GOREY
Witnessed by John Nolan-Elizabeth Delaney -Gorey

Patrick BROWN married Anne PURCELL 22/4/1852 GOREY

94/10/1896 JOHN PURCELL married ANNE SINNOTT witnessed by John
Sinnot -Mary Sinnott-Gorey

Now the name Purcell also appears in Oulart, Enniscorthy, New Ross,
Newtownbarry and the list goes on
with not much to go on its like looking for the proverbial needle in the
haystack
I have only included Gorey area for now as I have no idea what I am looking
for other than the surname Purcell.

I have not included headstones because they would appear if needed on the
Irish Tombstone and Cemetery Lists

Cheers for now
Cara
