Very frustrating! I can see the entries for the family of my mother's great-uncle, Henry Hatch Purkis, but none of the details.

None of OHs Purkis lot appeared in the list and I'm sure some of them made it to NSW.

I didn't realise your OH had Purkis ancestors too, Toni.

He doesn't have many as I haven't traced them very much. I'll put it on the agenda though.
Louisa Purkis married William Henry Drake. William was in the commissary and they were in Perth Aus and Tasmania but they left some of their children here. Some of Louisa's family also ended up in Perth and some made it to NSW. Her parents were James and Elizabeth Sarah nee Viner and his parents John and Jemima nee Nixon. Two of Louisa's sisters married prominent men in WA. Louisa died in South Africa and her children/grandchildren in Australia were basically left to fend for themselves. I've seen a letter where William refused to help his orphaned 16 yo granddaughter who was left with the care of her siblings from 1yo and up. She asked for 5 pounds. Her parents and maternal grandparents all died within months of each other.

Mine were from Hampshire, so there would be no likely connection.

No, not unless mine moved.

Hmm, these have been updated, but now there are only 1.4 million records, so they must have removed some.

My lot were all on Family Search but as submitted entries. No proof was ever found.
