seeking answers - only child/his name was Edgar Raymond Hayward Pritchard

[sandgroper38]

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???

Cheers Cando!!   very interesting  two posts/     I never knew we  were mentioned in WHP ,s  funeral  notices.  I am going to contact  elder sister W and see if she remembers  anything about Him??    also a lot of  that info re the pritchards   all ties in  to my  known memories.
thanks very much for all this  /it does answer a lot of  unknown  answers??

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.

Yes you are correct about the BRAMELD's.

Pleased your family have some memorabilia from Ray and it is obviously appreciated.

Cheers

hello sandgroper38.

I have just found your posts of 2011.  I am a great niece of Ada Mary Pritchard (nee Hayward).  Her mother, Elizabeth Warburton is my great-grandmother and her sister, Winifred Beatrice Emma is my grandmother.  Elizabeth and two of her children, Winifred and Joseph, came to Queensland where  Winifred married Horace Greaves.  Another sister, Annie, was already in Rockhampton by the time they arrived.  My aunt Beatrice told us about Ada, knew only that she had died quite young (thought to be a riding accident).  We only knew her married name was Pritchard and there was mention of an orchard in WA. 
Would love to hear from you.

Hello again sandgroper38
I tried to reply to your reply.  I'm unable to do so as this is only my second post and apparently I can't do that until I have 3 posts under my belt. 
I too live in Qld 4650 and as soon as I can do so I will send you my email address on PM.  Very excited to find you so hope to make contact asap.
