hilaryjames	Francis Purdy. replied on: 10/16/2005 4:07:18 PM And thanks for your very helpful (and swift) email, Robert, helping me with logging-in problems! It was re-registering that did the trick for me. I forgot to ask earlier - how does one reach the Family History section mentioned earlier in this thread? I haven't found a link to it so far.
RMMee Moderator	Francis Purdy. replied on: 10/15/2005 4:57:37 PM Hilary Pleased you managed to get on the site. And thanks for your comments. Robert
hilaryjames	Francis Purdy. replied on: 10/15/2005 2:36:39 PM Oppem - I'm trying fill in the jigsaw of the same Baker family, and your great-uncle Paling Baker was my great-grandfather! So I'll email you soon - perhaps we can exchange some information. A thank you to this History Society, too. My mother told me that an ancestor named Purdy/Purdey/Perdey/Perdy assisted James Watt, but I knew no more (or even how to spell it), until I searched for Paling Baker, got a result with 'Purdy' in the title, and found this thread. Local history societies such as this do a great service to family researchers, too!

"Hello I have just found this site regarding Heanor and area which is where most of my family originate from. Being a novice with computers I am finding it difficult to contact this Ken Porter chap. I'd like to know if he is a descendant of Francis Purdy as I am Francis's 3xtggrand.daughter. I've got the Beauvale Prim Book and also an Eastwood book that shows a picture of my 2xgt grandmother Mary Martin - nee Purdy. I am also interested in anyone with any connection to any Martin's or Crich families of Heanor area as I have researh back to the mid 1700s if anyone is interested. Other names include Limb (Lymn)Oxley, Rhodes and Baker to name but a few that married into them. I'd be pleased for any help. Thanks - Donna"

suegill Researcher	Purdys of Heanor and West Hallam replied on: 9/17/2004 11:36:15 PM I'm happy you liked the MI. I bought the microfiche several years ago when I was able to visit Heanor and found the grave location of several of my relatives whose gravestones had disappeared over the years.
oppem	Thanks for posting this. replied on: 9/17/2004 9:27:32 PM Sue, thank you so much for posting this MI for Francis and Jane. Having seen the empty plot without any stone (as of present day),it was very interesting to know that there had been a stone in the past; and what it had said.
Azzabuv	Francis Purdy. replied on: 9/17/2004 4:10:08 PM I believe that's the name i heard in connection with the empty shop at the end of Boundary Lane - Purdy. Azzabuv.
RMMee Moderator	Francis Purdy. replied on: 9/16/2004 10:54:51 PM There was a shop owned by a Purdy at Derby Road, Langley Mill, directly opposite the entrance to Vic Hallams (until recently, just inside Nottinghamshire). It later became known (as it still is, though it's been derelict for years) as Edgar Parker's. Whether it was connected with your Purdy's, I don't know.
