yes it is a bit baffling but also on that entry look at the years married any number of children.

Bit of a curve ball here - you know he is going out to his uncle Thomas Pritchard in Chicago - could that be his father maybe ?

Mother died in 1896 - father emigrated leaving the younger children with his sister, the older children move out to him and then later so does John........

have to go out now but will be back later -

Seems to be ok at moment.

If we believe that border crossing then Mother Mary was still alive in 1913 as well  ???

Blew up that section of the attestaion papers - all becomes clearer !!! You can see Miss Blodwen Roberts - crossed out Mr Jonah Roberts - foster father

Hi sbellbois,

Welcome to RootsChat

Perhaps it is nestagj you need to contact, that was the person who made the original enquiry.  I was just helping with the research and have no connection.  If you post on here once more, you can  then use the personal message system to contact nestagj.

Sorry, I was not aware this site was closing down soon.   The Rootsweb site announced the mailing lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued on 2 March 2020 and users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails.
