John Purvis was the father of William Birkbeck Purvis born circa 1866 in Hetton-le-Hole, Durham. John Purvis married Susanna Birkbeck in late 1858 in Sunderland. John and Susanna Purvis are my wife's 2 x great-grandparents. Their son, William Birkbeck Purvis married Jane Potts of Seaham, Durham and their second child, Susanah Purvis married Stanley Coling Jones in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in September 1918. In November 1919, Stanley Jones and Susannah Jones (nee Purvis) migrated to Canada, settling in Hamilton, Ontario. Their only child, Muriel Doris Jones, was my wife's mother. |
