hi Jacqueline, she married at least 3 times, in 1909 annie burnel to William Purvis , in 1932 ish to jo laverick I also believe there is a mr Johnson after laverick, what im looking for is a connection with a George Purvis born in 1870s and died in 1945 to 1949 possibly Gateshead Blaydon burnopfield, ive done each census in ancestry , but interested in the years later may need to take a trip up north .

Was she adopted, or was the name change due to marriage?

Kay thank you for that info.

Ni Natlie,

You arent doing anything wrong.but,
The online electorals are modern day ones from abt 2002--2013/14,the years you are looking for are only avaliable in a main library or local history centre and you would need to know where she lived as they are only searchable by address and would need to be done in person,although some will do a once look-up if you contact them.


If you know she lived in London or Birmingham Ancestry site has electoral roll which could help with some early entries.

tell me if I can look up a Annie Purvis/born Hannah Burnell, on the electrol roll on here for the 1920,s up to 1970's, im on a plat, trial but must be doing something wrong.
