Hi Charani, I was looking at the 1813-1837 Bristol Baptism Index to see if there were any PURNELLs having children baptized, in the second decade of the 19th century, who might have been having children baptized in the first decade when Allana's Charles PURNELL is said to have been born. A possible couple might have been the Joseph and Mary who were having children baptized in St. Augustine from 1816-1825. After finding them, I discovering a George PURNELL who actually lived in Clifton who might have been related to Allana's Charles PURNELL. But, like you, I didn't spot a likely Charles among the PURNELLs in either the 1813-37 Baptism Index or the 1754-1812 Baptism Index. However, there is a Bristol baptism of 28th. December 1806 for a Charles Clavey PURNELL in the British Vital Records Index (Second Edition). However, the record shows that this was a female baptism, but maybe there was a mistake. Parents were William and Mary PURNELL and the baptism took place at 'Christ', Bristol. Perhaps this means Christchurch, Bristol.

I have seen the Charles Clavey Purnell Baptism and did wonder. He would have been 4 or 5. My Charles didn't seem to have a middle name but who knows. I have asked on the Surrey list about his marriage as it may throw more light on his birth.
