Wm Pritchard & Royal Charter 1859

[Tulassi]

Hello! I'm doing some research on my family tree, and am wondering if my great grandfather, Richard Pritchard, could be a relation to the Pritchards here? It's probably a long shot, but according to the 1911 census he was living in Hugh Street, Hirael, and was born in Llandegai, but I know nothing more about his roots or what his occupation was. I believe he had at least one sister, maybe more siblings. His wife was Jane Ann and they had several children, only 2 alive at the time of the census, my grandmother, Beatrice, and her brother Idwal.

Hello Tulassi,

I'm afraid we don't have the same Richard Pritchard here, although they were only a couple of streets apart.  In 1901 my Nain was living with her mother and siblings at 5 Hugh Street, Hirael and one of her brothers was Richard Pritchard.  However on the 1911 Census they were in Ambrose Street: all the children had been born in Hirael and their paternal grandfather was the William Pritchard who I now know was one of the Moelfre Twenty-Eight.  My great-uncle Richard was later married, but not to Jane Ann.

The 1911 Census shows your Richard and Jane as married for 6 years: Free BMD gives a marriage in the last quarter of 1901 in the Carnarvon district where two of the spouses were Richard Pritchard and Jane Ann Thomas, which looks likely.  The Carnarvon district included Llanrug which 1911 Census shows as Jane Ann's birthplace, and there are two birth entries for Caernarvonshire in the name Jane Ann(e) Thomas, one in 1882 and another in 1884.

I hope you'll find a lead to take you back a stage further, although Bangor was well-endowed with Pritchards.  However someone else may have a connection that coiuld help you — best of luck with your search.

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. My great grandmother was indeed Jane Ann Thomas before she married, and most likely the Jane Ann Thomas born in 1882 (she died in 1957 aged 75). I know she had two sisters, Hannah and Grace, as my grandmother talked about them a lot, but I haven't had any luck finding a census entry for them yet. I would love to know the names of their parents and where they were from.

I am already eager for the 1921 census to come out, lol, so I can find out where my great grandparents (the Pritchards) were living then. I don't think they were in Hugh Street at that time, but I know they were in Seirol Road by the 1930's.

Thank you again for taking the time to help me!

I am the granddaughter of Grace Ann Parry nee Thomas, her sisters were Jane Ann Prichard nee Thomas, Hannah Ellen Thomas, brother David Thomas.

Grace was 98 when she died in 1969, when I was 6. I have few memories of her. My sister has lots of memories of Grandma "Parry".

Just discovered Jane Ann Pritchard and Beatrice Roberts on Ancestry. Would love to try and fill in some gaps in my history, and hope I can fill some gaps for others searching Richard Prichard family of 11 Hugh Street Bangor
