Hi I am trying to discover the fate of a family of 3, who may have had links to travelling and showground families 1 Alfred Pratley b 1872 (parents Margaret Arnold or Harnell from Pontesbury and Richard Pratley from Leafield ) 2 Christina Ireland (b 1868 Ashton Under Lyne) married Alfred Pratley in1896 in Bedwelty Monmouthshire 3 Edwin Pratley b1893 in Brynmard Monmouthshire
Alfred was a hawker of earthenware
There are links to the Scarrott family -Alfred's grandparents were Keziah Scarrott & Richard Pratlley and his great aunt Sarah Pratley married John Scarrott. I think the Scarrotts had a travelling boxing booth . Does anyone know if albert/Christina/\Edwin traveled with this
Alfred died in 1948 in Newport, Christina in Worcester in 1914.
But what happened to Edwin ?
My links with the family are via my ggrandmother Sarah Jane Parkes who lived with & had 4 children out of wedlock by Alfred's father

Hi Colleena Thanks for your reply, All information gratefully received!!I did wonder if he had emigrated.
Is there anyway I can find anymore information on the Ed Pratley who was on the Suevic? Would his place of birth be noted anywhere, or if he was alone or with someone else?
Would there be any aussie records of him and if so how do I set about accessing them?
Sorry if this posting is not now on the right board I will also post on it on the Emigrants board.
Many thanks for your help
