My people are from Christchurch. My great-grandfather, James, imigrated from Christchurch to Joe Batt's Arm, in Newfound sometime before 1880. He married a local.
James Sr. was a Catholic and one of twelve children. I've contacted Purchases in Christchurch but they have no connection. Do you?

Hi!
My grt grt grt grndparents are Harriet Chester & Edward Purchase. My line is through their daughter Harriet bc 1831 who married George Trask on Nov 5 1853 in Hardington Mandeville Somerset. Their eldest daughter Phillis went on to marry Mark Green from East Pennard and they lived in Lottisham. Mark was a thatcher. Their eldest Annie Green was born Dec 6th 1879 and is my gran.I have pictures of Phillis and her daughters and one of her sons who died in the First World War. I would love to have details of Harriet & Edward particularly astheir daughter Harriet's name on her wedding cert is Chester with Edward named as the dad although they are all together in the 1851 census! I'm going to check 1841 census on Thurs in London so I might see something there.

I have an Edward and Harriet Purchase. Edward was born c 1800 - no idea where except England, he was a Mariner when his son also Edward was born c 1829, and by the time Edward his son - known as George - married he had become a Master Mariner. A census shows young Edward (George) living at the home of John and Ann Yates. John being listed as his Uncle. No idea where they fit in.
