Hi
Thomas Pri(t)chard, born c. 1868, saddler, born Portmadoc, living in Bodedern, Anglesey time of 1901 Census, with wife Anne J, born Borthygest c.1873, and sons Humphrey, 2, born Borthygest, and Owen, 1, born Bodedern.
In 1911, they're at Albert House, Ralph St, Borthygest, Portmadoc, Thomas now an 'Assurance Agent'. They've been married 16 years, had 5 children, all still alive, but only 4 listed. The additional children, Priscilla, 9, and Mair Harries Pritchard, 3, both born Borthygest.
Albert House, I assume, was named after the sailing ship 'Albert', which was lost with all hands off St Agnes, Cornwall, December 1890, captained by Humphrey Roberts, father of Anne Jane Pritchard. The house was built sometime between 1901 and 1911 Censuses.
Humhrey,s son, Anne's brother, Capt Humphrey Issac Roberts was the Mate of the SS Yola, sunk by an U-boat during WW1 (see below -copied from uboat.net website.)
Date: 7 Feb 1917
U-boat: U 55; Commander: Wilhelm Werner
Loss Type: Sunk West of Ushant. Sunk with all hands; posted as missing.
Location: 49° 34'N, 7° 12'W ; Route: New York - London
Cargo: wheat ; Casualties: 33 .
It was because of research re.the 2 captains I spotted the entry for Thomas Pritchard.
