Brilliant.

I tried 1897 +/- 5 years, not 8 years.  My fault, I thought that as her age at death fitted the birth year then +/- 5 years would cover everything.

I will have to look at 1921 again.

Also, F M P only has her as Pearcey.

One of my daughter's friends lived at Six Oaks Road.

Purkiss is quite a common name in the area - I was going to name a name but she is living, a Commonwealth silver medallist in relay team, I think.

Thank-you

Added: Mr Meffen was born in 1906 - might have been a reason why she made herself appear younger.
