Andrew Purcell

Hi there! I am looking information for Andrew Purcell, who I have been told by family was born in Albany, NY around 1820. I have hit a brick a wall in able to tracing him before 1853. His parents both came from Ireland (Tipperary Ireland). He died 23 October 1899 in Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Ann O'Brien (from Cambria County, PA) on 12 October 1858 at Summit, Butler, Pennsylvania.
