Thanks Claire This is them Their name was Purkis but no one had been able to find it and I looked on the 1901 site and found Purkes and wondered if this was them. Does it show an address they were living at? I have quiet a few Purkis bits and believe Tom and Lucy were siblings. Tom married Mary Susannah Prout, her step mother was Lucy. These relatives certainly like to keep us busy finding who was who Thank you for the Info Deborah

Hi thanks that is definately the right family as her date of birth fits so i guess i spelt the name wrong. William was born about 1868 i think and possibly was born in scarborough although i am not sure as he was a fisherman who traveeled about as they later ended up in scotland on the 1901 census! So anything else you may find would be brilliant. Many thanks Lynda
