Purcell family in Ramsay and Douglas
« on: Monday 29 July 19 18:07 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find information about any deaths of any of the Purcell family from about 1900 to 1965.

Also, would be interested in trying to locate any wills of the deceased Purcell family but am not sure how to research any relevant ones in order to order copies of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is a probate online for a James Patrick Purcell died in Ramsey in 1955.  Wills are only £1.50 to order at present, name and year is all you need to find it on the government site.

Thank you so much for your help.

The Manx Bmd has certainly helped me to find the deaths that I am searching for on the Island.

Please can you advise me as to how I can find details of the relevant wills?  I know for certain that many of the family left wills but I don't know how to find them or what cost is involved.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.
