Nancy:

Do you still have the Purtell/McGrath records? I don't know for sure that they are related, but my Lawrence and John Purtell (brothers) also were in Binghamton at that time frame. I believe they emigrated about 1850, both from the Shanagolden area of Limerick. If you've not found a taker for these rcds, I would gladly pay whatever costs would be incurred to mail them...

My mother's maiden name is Purtell, comes from the Little Meadows/Friendsville area. I probably can help to some degree. Also, the Hawley's from the NY/Pa area are related on my father's side. Would you be connected to them ? I haven't worked on this in awhile so I'd have to pull out what I have. Let me know if you're interested.

John Henry Purtell 1837-75

@@stybid@aol.com — 2006-03-29 20:08:07Z

I am trying to trace any decendants of my GGUncle John Henry Purtell 1837-1875. He was a Corporal in the 97th Regiment and served in the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny. He was married to Elizabeth Ladd 1844-1874.

Their children were:

John Henry b.1862 at Jubbulpore Hindustan, India.

William b.1869 d.December 6, 1876 at Hospital for hip disease. 18 Queen Square. Bloomsbury.

Robert W. b.1870 at Dover

Sarah Elizabeth b.1872 at Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland.

James A. b.1872 at Colchester Barracks.

I believe from reading his letters that there may have been another daughter, Dorothy.

By the 1881 Census the only child I can find is John Henry who was on H.M.S Druid.

Any information will be gratefully recieved.

Hi, I noticed your Shanagolden connection....I'm not aware of any Purtell's in my line, however, my ancestors (John and Margaret Dunne) emigrated from Shanagolden Parish, County Limerick, to Binghamton, New York, about the same time as your ancestors - 1850. Have you found any other Shanagolden families who may have emigrated to the Binghamton area?
