Pritchard

If you're looking for the 1990's info, I think it's from a subscription site that starts with an A.

Looking at the California death index on www.rootsweb.com, it appears that the Mary A. Cox found above had a father's last name of Grant and was born in Colorado.  Perhaps she's not the right person.

Hello Moorlands,

Have sent you some entries by pm for you to look at.   We haven't really got alot of information to go on and I was trying to match up the zip codes for you with the original information you gave.

You have told us that William was born about 1868 in  Llanharry, South Wales and they move to America 1875.
Father was Richard and Mother Amelia David. Also William had 2 daughters. 

A few questions : - When did Amelia die - was it before or after William and Richard immigrated to the USA ? Have you found them listed on any passenger list or census ?  Can you give a date of birth for Richard Pritchard  ? 

Does the address you have ((1020 East Second Street. Apartment 5. Long beach. California USA 90802) come from a letter or is it something you have looked up ? 

Any other small pieces of information you may have could help in the search.

Hi Moorlands,

Found a little on Mary Ann Cox who was Mary Ann Grant married to George Cox in Freemont. Colorado on the 1 st December 1912.
 
George Cox was the son of Robert Cox born about 1836 in Birtley, County Durham, England and died 1889 in Fremont County, Colorado. The Mother was Mary Ann Collins born August 1841 in England and died 25 May 1912 in Fremont County, Colorado.

 
Mary Ann was the daughter of Charles George Grant born 7 April 1862 in Gilfach Goch, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales and died 14 APR 1945 in Florence, Colorado. Charles married Mary Jones in 1884 (according to the 1900 Census) in Gilfach goch South Wales.

Mary Jones was born 6 September 1862 in Wales and died 11 April 1943 in Florence, Colorado.

Mary Ann Grant and George Cox appear to live in Colorado in 1920 and 1930.

Apart from the Welsh connection, can't see anything else to link Mary Ann Cox to William Pritchard at the moment.

Hi Moorland,

Forgot to ask - did William have a middle name ?

Richard and Amelia married March 1867 -  Bridgend - 11 a 517.  Is the entry for a death of Amelia in June 1877 at Bridgend  11 a 395 -your Amelia aged 30 years ?

Also in reply 7 you said "He use to travel back and for a lot" - was that William you mean't or the father Richard ?

Can see a Richard and Amelia in Llansannor, Glamorganshire, Wales. (Llanharry Civil Parish) on the 1871 Wales Census but no William    Is this the right family ? Just wwondering if William was born later than 1868 

Richard Prichard aged 28 and Amelia Prichard aged 24
Alice Prichard aged 3 and  Lizia Prichard   aged 1
