I am looking for details on Joan Purcell who married Percival Simpkins in Knaresborough in 1921 at the age of 23. Father was noted as Thomas Purcell. I would be grateful for any info as i cannot find any apart from the above which I have the wedding certificate.
Hi dawn63,
How sure are you that the name is joan as there were several Joanna's and Johanna's Purcell born around the 1900 's?

We are not sure of the exact name but on the wedding certificate it has got Joan Purcell. I have checked many variations of both names but have not found a registered birth.

Do you happen to know roughly the area in which she was born?
Was she from the area that she got married in?
We do not know any details apart from what is on the wedding cert. Percy simpkin was from the Knaresborough area. I have tried looking into the Irish geneology but cannot confirm that is where she originated from. As far as we know Joan and percy were only married for 2 years.
