13 people in the one house!!! goodness!!! lot of typing there gadget!!! it is well appreciated my friend, remember that on the night of 2nd april 1871 they wanted to know who was in the house, assuming that william purves answered the census he has also named his other married daughter as purves!! james mckechnie would be away on business, gadget did you not notice the "bhoy" in my name?

[Gadget]

Yes I did but you never know with you southerners

As you can see above the massive family, James is in Arrochar.
