Hi it’s the 1851 census that I could not find Catherine was born to his first wife also called Catherine so it could be her age has been recorded wrongly could you tell me the other details on the census please
Lawrence did marry Margaret Whitfield but as far as I know had no children with her

The Lighter Side / Re: Why do they add extra names?
« on: Sunday 22 August 21 13:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi where the family catholic? When a catholic is confirmed they take another name known as a confirmation name. It is not to use on official things. In my family my father always used James Thomas and I can hear my mother saying to him you are not Thomas that’s your confirmation name  but before they met and he joined up for WW2 he joined as James Thomas. Just to add when I have looked at his father who was John he enlisted for WW1 as John James. So father and son both giving themselves an extra name .hope this might help Carolyn
By the way Agnes is a saints name that would be a popular choice for a young lady

Hi
Thank you for the reply very interesting so quite a lot of Tinkers must have lived in one place. The date I have for the marriage is 1868  showing him as father of groom  he is not on the census returns for 1901/11. His son Martin Purcell is the one who’s marriage I have but he came to England with his wife Mary and one daughter Annie the rest of his children including his son James (my gt grandfather) were born in England. All had labouring jobs except one who was a cobbler.
Thank for your interest

Hi
I have the names Purcell and Hunt both from the New Ross area in Co Wexford Michael Purcell has given his occupation as Tinker on his sons wedding certificate. Are Purcell or Hunt traveller/ tinker names.
I am a bit confused as I thought tinkers also moved from place to place but Michael Purcell had an address
Hope this makes sense
Thank you Carolyn
