Hi Anne
I'm unable to help with PURNELL in NZ but I have the following from an
obituary for my GtUncle Thomas W LLOYD:
The following members of the family were present: Mrs T Lloyd (widow) .....
Mr J Purnell (father in law)..... Mr I Purnell (brother in law)... Masters A
& R Purnell (nephews) ... Mrs Purnell (sister in law).
The funeral was held at Varteg May 1911.
I have no other info on PURNELL but if there is a link to yours I would
appreciate the details.
I used to live in Nelson (1960's) and knew some Purnells there?
Cheers
Chris Lloyd
