thanks gadget 

that's them
i wasn't sure which alexander purgavie it was
looks like jean ann purgavie died 1858 dundee
i've now accounted for every purgavie on the 1881 census and they
are all linked to the same line from longforgan perthshire

thanks

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

I've not checked alternative spellings.

so far i have 54 purgavie birth surnames from 1742 to 1880
all on the same line so it isn't a common name
i've put them all on tribalpages

Is he the one born Liff in 1855 - cos he's a police constable in St clement, Dundee in 1881. Wife is down as Euphemia.  Children are Alexander, Ann, James and Robert.
