There was a Thomas Purcell on the ship Bryan Abbs that arrived (new York)on march 7, 1850 with a Ellen Purcell on board. Would anyone know anything about these two people. My g-grandfaather Thomas Purcell signed documents stating that he arrived in New York, USA in March 1850. He had two younger brothers (12 and 8 yrs old) with him. If that was him who was Ellen? Thanks. Joe
