Austin appears in the 1891 and 1901 censuses in Halifax, the youngest of a fair number of children of Patrick Purcell, born in Ireland, and his wife Mary Ann. In 1911 he's still with his parents, and is listed as a French Polisher, living in Old Road, Birkinshaw, still in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Is any of this of the slightest help?
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

It will have been moved to the board where it is most likely to get the best response. Usually this is done by a moderator. The moving is helpful, and can put your request in front of a larger number of potential helpers.
Brilliant
Thank you Threfallyorky

Have you looked for him on the 1939 Register?

If, as seems likely, the Nellie Purcell who (re)married in 1933 to Harry Waterhouse was Austin's wife - do you have a copy of that marriage record to validate Nellie's given marital status - i.e. does she there declare herself to be widowed?

If nothing else this would confirm that Austin had died by then and would save you from (possibly) fruitlessly searching the 1939 Register (wherein, of course, a Nellie Waterhouse can be readily found). Additionally the 1933 marriage record will tell where Nellie was living at the time.

Regarding Austin's probable demise at a relatively early age, could this have been associated with a combination of his exposure to french polishing materials from a young age and his kidney problems during his WW1 service?
