Hello Aled,
Here's some additional information concerning Robert Prichard Jnr. of Llwydiarth
Esgob ...Better late than never!
I mentioned in my previous post an event at Liverpool, written in Welsh, that my translator made
a mess of. It actually was from the Marriage of Robert Prichard Jnr. (1803-1874) to Elizabeth
Richards, (1809-1872). the daughter of James Richards of Llanerchymedd. The marriage was at
West Derby, Liverpool and was attended by James Richards and John Richards, Elizabeth's
brother. (he was a customs officer at Liverpool at that time). Marriage date was 20th April 1841.
They had 7 children.
Robert B 1842.
Elizabeth B 1843 (Bap.26-8-1843) Death 7 Dec 1843.
Elizabeth B 1845 (Bap.24-2-1845) Death 20 June 1846.
Thomas B 1846
Anne Jane B 1847
Elizabeth B 1848 (Bap.14-5-48)
Eleanor B1849 (Elinor)
All of the children were born at Llwydiarth Esgob, and were Christened at Llandyfrydog church.
John Richards, the customs officer, (married 2 months later to one of the richest women in
Liverpool), promptly retired from the customs service and bought the house, Brynllwyd, in
Llanerchymedd, just a stone's throw from Llwydiarth Esgob. (Still standing at present but
disused). He was the well-known druid, Iocyn Ddu).
Regards from Sweden.
