Could you give us some more info on Edward pritchard - we could have a look
Paul might be able to check the parish registers for the marriage (St Mary's Ruabon on the NW BMD) - it might give more info and witnesses, etc. I'll PM him.

Hello Murgie,
First thing I looked for was Sarah's marriage. On her marriage cert her Dad is Robert not Richard.
Ruabon marriage. Sep 18 1866.
Edward Pritchard. 21. Bachelor. Occ, Collier. Abode, Ponkey. Father, John. Occ Collier.
Sarah Ellis(X). 19. Spinster. Abode, Ponkey. Father, ROBERT. Occ, Collier.
Witnesses. Edward Ellis and Mary Parry.
I did find a marriage of a Joseph Ellis, Father, Richard.
Sep 1 1866. (Didn't have to look far)
Joseph Ellis. 22. (X) Bachelor. Collier. Ponkey. Father, Richard. Collier.
Ruth Davies. 21. (X) Spinster. Abode, Ponkey. Father, Thomas. Collier.
Witnesses. Amos Ellis(X) and Sarah Davies(X)
(X)=Did not sign made mark.
It looks to me like Sarah is from a different Family.
Couldn't see baptisms for any of them.
The only baptisms I could see for children of Robert or Richard Ellis are.
Nov 9 1845. William S/O Richard & Mary Ellis. Stonemason
June 7 1847. Anne. D/O. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Oct 6 1850. Caroline. D/O. """""""""""""""""""""""
