Hi All, I am researching Louisa COOK, daughter of John (deceased) & Caroline COOK, who married Robert PURVIS at Cowra 11th May 1847. Both addresses were River Lachlan. I can find no record of the death of Louisa PURVIS nee COOK, or any record of children born to this couple. They were married in the C of E. Minster was T. BEAGLY NAYLOR, Chaplain. Witnesses were John EVANS of the Lachlan River and Helen LOUDON of Carcoar. Robert PURVIS seems to have been a devout Catholic, if he is the same Robert PURVIS who died at the Cowra District Hospital in September 1894. He was then 94. No mention is made of family at all in the obituary. People named in the obit. were: Rev Fathers O'KENNEDY & McGEE Mr & Mrs McCANN are mentioned. Wardsman and matron of the hospital. Robert PURVIS had become a resident of the Cowra deistrict several years before the village of Cowra was surveyed. And had lived almost continuously in the district. Robert was employed by Mr N. CHALLACOMBE , of Cowra, for the last 25 years of his life. Has anyone information on the COOK or PURVIS family. With regards Elizabeth
