This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: PURVIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/456.1.1 Message Board Post: The Jesse Purvis of the 1920 census is the same Jesse found in 1900 as son of Ira Purvis of Oxford, Ms. Birthdates match. I had almost no contact with this family since my parents were divorced early on. I saw a photo of a young girl who I was told was my Aunt who died of a ruptured appendix. I have not been able to locate this family in 1910 census. I am particularly interested in finding out who is listed as wife in 1910 since Amelia (who was actually born in 1894) was too young to be Carolyn`s mother IMO. Don`t have Amelia`s maiden name but her obit listed three sisters married to a Crouch, a Carter, and a Simpson {?}. She died in Memphis in 1959. Jesse d. in 1969. My father died in 1971.
