Okay, distant and by marriage. Still, it links both of us to Portsmouth!

Yes, my Purkis family (my Mum's maiden name) were very much Portsmouth based. John Frederick's great-grandfather is my 4x-great-grandfather.

However, in 1861, Sarah was the young second wife of Henry Blackman, twenty years her senior. Geneanet has the marriage of Eliza Edney to THOMAS Blackman at St Marys church ,Portsea ? is this a mistranscription - or did she marry 2 brothers ?? ADDED Having checked that - Eliza would have been 13 at the marriage - so A DIFFERENT COUPLE - Apologies .. coincidence though ...lol

The marriage between Thomas Blackman and Eliza Edney was in 1840.

Thanks, Elizabeth. I think that marriage is pure coincidence: while that Eliza is probably related to mine, the connection is likely to be a century earlier.
