Dear Elizabeth

Thanks for your prompt reply! You have taken on a big task, but it does sound interesting. Howard and I are both descended from early pioneers, but I don't think my ancestors are listed on your site. Howard's first Purcell ancestors arrived in 1840, I think from memory, and William Axtill came across from VDL in the late 1840s.

I do have quite a bit of information about these families, and I'd be glad if you could pass on our details to the other Axtill researcher who has contacted you. I assume this is a descendant of William Axtill jr, who married Alice Blencowe, and would have been Howard's great uncle. I think that branch of the family moved to the Riverina area, and as far as we know lost touch with the Melbourne Axtills. In fact the name has probably died out here, since Howard's grandfather, Robert Axtill, only had daughters.

Congratulation on your site!

Regards, Isolde Kinns
