Purcell Family Photos
After my grandfather passed away I recieved a great deal of photos. After some time I got to sort some of them and came across two professional photos with the names on the back but they don't ring any bells. The name seems familiar but I can't place them. The well dressed gentleman is named James Purcell and the woman equally dressed is named Iliff Purcell. I dont know if they are brother and sister or husband and wife. The date of the photos is about 1890 or so at least that period is what the clothing looks like. My granddad lived in Sacramento and Placerville all his life so I would imagine these people were from around that area. The photographer was Burton M. Hodson of Sacramento and San Francisco. If you could give me a link to the Akin family I would be more than happy to get copies to you. The photos are in excellent shape. Some other family names in my family are Pryde, Benner, Adams, Williams, Curran and Fox.
Thanks for your help
