I.G.I RECORD Pritchard

[pritchardgeo]

if indeed that is Pritchard it could indeed be the right one, that would make him 27 when he got married. and 28 when the first Thomas was born and 37 when George was born in 1814. its possible. wonder if it was a second marriage. his parents then Pater Peter ? and Elizabeth. cant see a marrige though. thanks again.Brian

If his first sons were Thomas and George, did he have  any named Peter? If not, I'd be inclined to say it was not him. Maybe a bit more checking   
I'm still more inclined to follow the Overton 1779 baptism. These  parents were most likely to be:

Overton 29 Jan 1778 Thomas Pritchard to Elizabeth Griffiths  (PS - both OTP)

Although I'm not convinced that Peter and Elizabeth are the parents, this is what I have:

From the Chirk registers from Clwyd FHS

Chirk
17 May 1759 Peter Prichard (weaver) m Elizabeth Jones

Children(Peter given as of Halton, a weaver on some entries):
1762 John
1764 Peter

thank you for looking Gadget. i did look at thomas 1779 overton son of thomas and elizabeth, but didnt know he dies so early. and yes peter pritchard also d 1807  rules him out too. i have a Thomas Pritchard b 1782 in Oswestry and leaning towards him now. as you know its very near the border. what do you think please. thanks again.brian

The 1782 Oswestry  family are worth investigating.They wee living in Willow Street at the time of the baptism.

[pritchardgeo]

thank you Gadget. how would i get more information on the 1782 Thomas Please. would they exist?
i have not given up on Peter but this may look more likely. i have always thought that with a gap between Thomas Pritchard 1808 and George 1814 from earlier threads, if he was in the Peninsular war  roughly 1807.to 1814. the records seem to be scant from these earlier periods. p.s i can see loads of Cash dna matches, they all seem to be in and around. thanks.Brian

March 2 1774 Thomas Prichard m Mary Evans (widow)

Oswestry Bsptisms with these parents' names
1774 David
1776 Elizabeth
1782 Thomas

I don't see a definite burial -. There are some but not in Oswestry itself - Trefonen, etc.

There were quite a number of Cash in the area, mainly in the St Martins/Chirk (Balck Park/Halton area). My 3 x great grandmother was a Cash.
