Person:George Purvis (5)

On the christening records of some of his children he gives his place of birth as Long Eglingham Northland, which is a nonsense place, he could mean Eglingham in Northumberland which is different to his place of baptism which was recorded concurrent with the event not a memory 30 or 40 years later.

There do not appear to be any census records for George which implies he died before 1841. There is only one record for a death that also fits with a birth in 1777 which is 22 December 1812 in South Shields, this is 9 months before the last child is born so is just possible.^{[2] [3]}
