Thank you. It is of interest to me . . .every piece of the puzzle makes the picture as a whole a little clearer.

Is the phrasing "of the whole blood" typical, do you know? It is one I am not familiar with, but then I have very little experience with such things . . .

Yes that one !

He {Cyril} certainly looks like the son of Samuel Workman, who appears to divorce and then marry Eliza Jane CLARK / HUNT in 1921

The methodist connection explains why the Workmans suddenly disappear from the parish records while still living locally.

And I thought the aunt who married late in life and was childless was going to be the easiest one on which to follow through. . .

So, like most of my research to date, two answers and lots more questions. And to think this all started from something as simple as wanting to find William Lewis. . . who is playing the world's longest running game of hide and seek.

Louie Purnell abt 1866 Penzance, Cornwall, England Daughter-in-Law Paulton, Somerset
Clifford C Purnell abt 1889 Penzance, Cornwall, England Grandson Paulton, Somerset

The Company was founded by Charles Dando Purnell in 1839 as a small family printers with small print shops in Radstock, Midsomer Norton and Paulton.

In 1839, in the heart of the old coal mining community, Charles Dando Purnell established what was to become Europe's biggest printing firm.

A strict Methodist, his main aim was to alleviate the poverty and unemployment caused by the reduction in mining and closure of Flook's boot factory in Paulton.

The company passed from father to son until in 1924 Charles' youngest son Clifford brought in Wilfred Harvey, an accountant, to help out. The company rapidly expanded and more members of Mr Harvey's family were recruited.

At this time Purnell printed bills, books and postcards

It became a major publisher of bibles and at its peak employed 2,000 people before it merged with Hazell Sun to form the British Printing Corporation in 1964.

The print works in Paulton closed in December 2005 with the loss of 400 jobs.

Nope. It's nice and tidy. Samuel WORKMAN, husband of Eliza Jane CLARKE HUNT was born abt. 1874. He is living with his parents next door to their Aunt and Uncle, Samuel and Augusta, who are the parents of George, who is the husband of . . . Annie Maria Clarke. . .at The Quarry, Cam, Dursley, Glos. (1881 census)

Her sister, Annie Maria Clarke, married George Workman around 1885. Annie lived to be 94, and lived at The Quarry, Cam. John and Eliza Jane raised two of Annie's children for an extended period of time . . .

So . . . now just to figure out who Samuel is in relationship to George, and see how many more times I'm related to myself. :-)

For all the hours I spent looking for her, I made a foolish mistake . . .since we all refer to her as Eliza Jane I never looked for Eliza J.; and this after I learned to just use W for William on the advanced search feature.

Again, thanks.

She may have predeceased him. She has family in the Trevethin and Cam, Dursley areas. She also has a niece in Ontario but I can't find an emigration record which fits.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what became of Eliza Jane? (She and John had no children of their own but they had a hand in raising two of the Workman children.)
