Hello I have just started researching Joseph Francis Purcell who died 1968 in Douglas, and have some information, but am really struggling with James Patrick Purcell born in ? Birkenhead about 1857. Have you researched the Purcell/ Brannan connection? I have found James P Brannan living in Ramsey in the 1881 census but can't determine whether his surname was Brannan or Purcell. Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks, Mary
