Biographies

I will submit via copy and paste a Biography of John Purcell shortly..... from the time of his conviction at the Surrey Assize Lent 1831 until his death in Deep Bay Tasmania in 13th May 1904. For the time being anyone interested in discovering more about John Purcell I recommend reading his story in the David Coad book "Port Cygnet English Convicts". There are still many mysteries to be solved about the life of John Purcell. It is believed that his mother is Ann(e), however the name of his father is unknown. I will also see if it is possible to attach reference documents to this biography so that others may research and verify details. Kind Regards Ken Parsell.
