On the 1891 Census Image there are several Purt families, including one born in Wiltshire all within a few houses of each other in Bury St Edmunds.

In 1891 there are lots of Purts living next door. I assume they are brothers. Don't see them in 1881. Harry junior was born as Pirt. Births Dec 1889 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pirt Harry John Bury St. E. 4a 684 Rose
