Surnames: Purdue,
I'm trying to locate the ship that Richard and/or John Purdue (possibly spelled Perdue) arrived on to the US. They may have come from County Roscommon and the time period would be around 1847.

Hi Fred, I'm still looking for information on the Purdues of Roscommon. Richard's brother Terrence went on to Sydney, and then Ballarat where he settled and still has descendents. Several of the family followed him. Please get in touch if you are still working on this.

Cheers,

Kerrie Roberts
