Cheers again CANDO/ I am guessing that would be his sisterand brother inlaws from his second marriage to M ay Brameld in 1931 se post by SUE:21757
then she in turn remarried after William Henry died in 1941 to a Thomas Underdown.. so they are not biological relatives?? ( is that correct??)
yes I do have some of Edgar(Rays) army records, but i did notice they have missplet one of his second names// Haywood should be HAYWARD,so I have sent them an email to set it right??
Have been trying to contact my sister to see if she remembers any of this new info you have been finding for me?? think she and hubby are away on hols.
when my elder brother passed away 1999/his wife passed some memoriblia of Ray to me/ some personal photos/war records and service medals/ which I in turn passed on to my son, B R P, ex navy submarines, who has had them remounted,and is quite proud of them.

Hi Essie, thanks for that / i never knew anything about my Fathers parents til now/ and obviously I was too young to remember anything about him/Gm having died much earlier.
I guess thats about as far as i can go with ,digging up the past?? I was just interested to know that most of my forebearers all died reasonable young// 60--68 ,even my elder bro was 68,(dec. 1999) so I have managed to set a precedent by reaching almost 73???

Thanks Sue, I knew ERH P re married / he married Olive? and my elder Bro /and sis lived with them for a time? I stayed with Mum, my parents separated after the war/and I never met him or knew him till about 1960 /after I was married and he paid a visit to my older sister in perth and i spoke to him for 30 seconds in the driveway?? He completely disowned me and I often wonder if he was my real dad or not??
That info about William Henry remarrying is news to me?? last i heard of my grandparents was they lived at Forestfield/and he was an orchardist?? I dont know when they passed on ??
thanks sandgroper38

Sounds like my grandparents alright!! William Henry and Ada Mary Pritchard and son,Edgar, came out to Freemantle WA, about that time/ subsequently moved up to Carnarvon to a job at the Comercial Club /secretary?? i believe?
so it seems as though there were no brothers or sisters . My father, Edgar Raymond Hayward Pritchard ( known as Ray) worked at Dalgheties/??stock and station merchants,before and after the 2nd WW.until he retired ill in the 1960,s
Thanks for all your help. Gerry P.
I will keep communications open for any further info??
