I recently discovered through the census that Charles Purnell's birthplace was Clifton, GLS. Have been unable to find his parents. CHARLES PURNELL was born Abt. 1802 in Clifton, Gloucestershire, England, and died 3 May 1868 in New Plymouth, New Zealand. He married SARAH ANN CLEGG 8 February 1837 in St Mary, Newington, Surrey, daughter of THOMAS CLEGG and SARAH GURR. She was born Bef. 14 July 1814 in Christchurch, Surrey, England, and died 28 Thanks Allana Jakarta, Indonesia

She was born Bef. 14 July 1814 in Christchurch, Surrey, England, and died 28 I'm afraid I can't find a Charles PURNELL born/bapt around 1802 at all. I'll keep an eye out for him though and let you know if I do find him. -- Charani (UK)

The 1812 Bristol Poll Book is available on CD from Archive CD Books. www.archivecdbooks.org Josephine -- Josephine's Books, Ian's Pages, The Clutton 'Do' and the Glamorganshire Canal. http://www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
