Thanks do much for that information, Les.

My first husband was the son of Joseph Francis Purcell who married an Elsa O'Neill ?when. Their first child was born in 1940 but I think they had been married for a few years before he was born. I know the family were hotel keepers and Joseph's sister had the ?Mitre hotel in Ramsey for a few years. I know Joseph was buried in 1968 but Elsa didn't die until about 2001 in England.

So I think you have helped me a lot. Once again thank you very much.
