Desperately seeking Mary Ann Pritchard
« on: Monday 27 July 09 01:07 BST (UK) »
Mary Ann Pritchard born Aberdare 1864, married Benjaman Pym in 1886 Newport Reg Office. Lived in Machen, then Pontypool. Mary Pym died 1920 at The Ship Hotel, Pontypool.  She was my gt. grandmother.   I can trace her when she married into Pym - but unable to trace any information about her birth or her family prior to her marriage.  Her father's name was William, and I believe she had a sister Sarah.  Does this ring any bells with anyone out there?  here's hoping ... any info, however vague, would be much appreciated.

Hi Karen

Many thanks indeed for the valuable information you've supplied.  The names and places certainly add up, although the dates do not tally quite with mine.  I'm wondering whether my Mary was a little older than stated on her marriage cert.  If she was born 1860/61 she would have been 25 and not 22 as stated.  This might be why I'm unable to find an accurate birth record for her.  It's all very interesting. I'm going to check out the census info you supplied and see if I can trace them further,  I will get back to you and let you know what I find. 

Fingers crossed!!  Anne
