Thank you Flip

Looks like this Joseph matches my original passenger list

Yes BatmansD. Isaac Jarman is their grandmother's brother.

I did find them in 1901 at 43 Rotherhithe New Road. They also had 2 sons, another Charles Joseph 1902 and Thomas 1904.

Are the Purnell children Charles's daughters?

He was a labourer.

Sorry Peter,

Was being facetious about "abduction".

My own G G Grandfather was missing for 20 years in the census.

I can't see anything after the baptism records for the 2 boys. Did you find Charles and Lucy in 1901?

Hi Batmans D

Was there a lot of Abduction in Canada ??

He may have died or even returned to England or elsewhere.

Hi Peter,

The 1911 census stated he was a labourer.

I've had a good look about and he either changed his name to avoid detection after abandoning his family or was abducted. Thinking the first theory maybe the one.

I'll look for a bit more and see if anything else comes up.

Batmans D........... did that 1911 census indicate what Chas Purnell's occupation was?

Thank you again Batmans D.

Added

Yes Lucy is shown as a Widow in 1915

So Lucy remarried in 1915. Did she state she was a widow?

Thank you Batmans D.......... I already have all that info and am only interested in the Canada connection.
