I just found my Purnell line in the 1900 census:

Augustus (hoh) dob 8/1852 MD
Charlotte (W) dob 7/1858 NJ
Florence (d) dob 8/1876 PA
Lottie (d) dob 10/1878 PA
Augustus Jr (s) dob 9/1882 PA
Miriam (d) dob 9/1884 PA
Viola (d) dob 5/1885 PA
William (s) dob 6/1890 PA
Pearl (d) dob 12/1894 PA
Richard (s) dob 7/1897 PA

Augustus' father was from England and his mother from Scotland.

Do any of these names tie in to your line?

Thanks!

God bless,
Susan
