The Bridget who died in 1937 left 3 sons Michael, Jack & Dan and 3 daughters incl. Miss Maud.
Is Qld. index working or is it just that there are no Purcell births with father = William.
I can't find a death for Doug* or Reg* the son of Thomas or David or Patrick.
Correct grandsons of William are Doug and Reg. If the 1912 death is correct for William then his sons included Thomas, David and Patrick.
There are at least 4x William Purcell in Trove between 1900 and 1930.

Thanks gibbo,
I hope it will.
The Bridget who died 1937 was married to Michael.
Those burials at the Towers relate to Bridget who married Michael.
So my Bridget is the one who died at Roma in 1944 with Grandchildren, Kate, Ruby, Doug, Reg, Norah, & Olive.
If the 1912 death is correct for William then his sons included Thomas, David and Patrick.
The problem is connecting any of the grandchildren to those three sons.
I looked first at Doug and Reg because they would be Purcell. Don't know if any of the granddaughters were married by 1944.
