Hello. My name is Brian Purcell and I have been searching for information on my 6th& 5tjh Great Grandfather's. I recently saw a census from 1821 showing a possible connection to me. I am looking for anyone who can help me find other information on then to confirm its them. My 5th GGF name was Charles and his dad was possibly Robert Purcell.
To assist other volunteers, I have copied the1821 census.

RC records for Kinnitty parish start in 1833. What happened to your Charles? Did he emigrate, stay in Ireland?
