Henry Isaac Purkis christened 27 August 1832 St Mary’s Portsea buried 7 September 1832 Occupation(s) From the baptisms of his children it is evident that James was a Carpenter. For one baptism he was given as a house carpenter. According to the death announcement of his son Edward in 1864, James was a foreman in H.M. Dockyard (confirmed by newspaper entry of son Edward’s death) 3rd December 1864 Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle Deaths “Purkis – On the 29th ult., at Woodland-street, Kingston, Edward Purkis, youngest son of the late Mr. James Purkis, formerly foreman in H.M. Dockyard, Portsmouth, aged 44.” Addresses Charlotte's Row/Charlotte Street, Portsea for most of children's baptisms Date, place and cause of death The Purkis register states that James died in January 1834 aged 52. However, this is three years out for the birth date given. I found no burial for January or February, but a burial for April, with the correct age. Date and place of burial 13th April 1834 at St Mary's, Portsea, Hampshire Abode: Clarence Street (where his wife died in 1832) Age: 49 Details of will / administration of their estate none found Memorial inscription unknown Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 08-11-17 at 17:47. |

Taradale very kindly contacted with me and gave me information extracted from a family bible giving the dates of birth and death of James and all his siblings and his parents' names and marriage! I wouldn't have found this information from the usual sources. David, many thanks, I am so grateful.
