Looking for Emily Purdy born 1866 Dewsbury yorkshire
« on: Monday 18 February 13 10:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Looking for the family of Emily Purdy born 1866 Dewsbury
I have seen  on RootsChat about Hill House Seminary High Street Askern Yorkshire about the School and Emily is there age 14.  I would like to know how she came to be there as none of her sisters as far as I know went there and why was she there
I have her marrying Russell Johnson back in Dewsbury in 1889
Hope some one can help me
Thanks Chris

Hi Sandra
Thanks for the information you have given me.  I did not have the addresses or occupation for the 1861 and 1871 Census
I think I have the wrong Ann married to Thomas as I have been having a look at Ann Walshaw have you seen a marriage for them? (re Ann Hirst)
Thanks again
Chris
