Greg purtell — 28 Jun 2001 1:58:55 GMT

I am looking for information beginning with my ggrandfather. I believe his name was Robert Purtill and he emigrated to LaSalette, Ontario abt 1840 from Co Limerick, Ireland. I believe he was born abt 1808. I have a picture of the entire family taken around 1900.

My father was born a Purtill. However, in the days when records were hand written the 'i' looked like an 'e', so we became Purtell.

John Henry Purtell 1837-75

@@stybid@aol.com — 29 Mar 2006 8:08:07 GMT

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.
