thanks gadget  Smiley

i wasn't sure which alexander purgavie it was

i've now accounted for every purgavie on the 1881 census and they
are all linked to the same line from longforgan perthshire

Looks like there were only 26 Purgavie in Scotland on the 1861. All Perthshire or Angus.

I've not checked alternative spellings.

thanks gadget & monica  Smiley

i came by a old family tree(20 year +) and did the research on my direct line
it was only recently i went back to this and discovered how few purgavies
there were , so i thought they must all be connected somehow
hopefully this will help anyone researching this name
