Yes, Heather, I got the same message, but I think someone had already pointed it out on here.

I must get round to downloading a James Purkis' will, in the hope it might, just might, be one of my elusive Purkis family from Portsea in the 1700s.

Sorry if its already been on here - I never saw it :(

I know I picked up on it last week - and searched for my Purkis family.

I'll try to find the thread.
