I am looking for information on my branch of the Purcell family: My grandmother was Mary Agnes Purcell m. John Patrick Courtney in Bangor, Penobscot, Maine ggfather: Patrick Edward Purcell m. Katherine Anne Clancy (I've been told, but have not proven this.) Katherine Anne was supposedly from the Chatham N.B. area gggfather: Patrick Purcell (possibly from Ireland to Newfoundland?) m. Ann Cavanaugh (again, I've been told but not proven) Then it gets dicy in terms of what may be reality (in other words the following are more "leap of faith" assumptions, none are proven (even the male lines)): ggggfather: Mathias Purcell (possibly from Tiperary, near parish of Borris, near Ossory (Ussory?) which is just outside of Roscrea; possibly lived in Newfoundland? and then moved to Antigonish, N.S.? |
