    • Elizabeth's brith date is uncertain, as in 1851 she say's she is 84, but at her burial in 1861 she is 101. It is possible that this is the same couple as John Purnell and Elizabeth Salmon, who married 25 september 1792 at St Philip and St Jacob, Bristol. 1851 CENSUS Melksham Whiltshire Elizabeth Purnell Head 84 yrs Born Kingston Jamaca Robert Purnell Son 55 yrs Born Somerset Betty Cox Granddaughter 6 yrs Born Somerset [1, 5]
