Grace Pritchard 1851 Bodedern

[sylgee]

Hi, I am researching the Pritchard family who lived in Bodedern, Anglesey & who appear on Census 1861 to 1911.  I found Grace's birth via the LDS site (Family Search) but can't find it listed on N.W. BMD or the UK  BMD.  Listed as born in Anglesey 3rd quarter in 1851 Vol 27 on Page 394.  Can anybody please suggest where I can look next before I request a Birth Cert?  Thanks

Why don't you try searching just for Grace with no surname or use the phonetic/similar search function?

Now that I know what 'N W BMD' is, their soundex/near/vague is broken.

That girl is probably the daughter of Robert and Margaret.  If you are looking for the Grace in the family of William and Martha PRICHARD here:

....then this may be her birth:

ROBERTS, GRACE
No mother's maiden name

Hi Debra, I did find the Grace with the Mother's maiden name of Owen BUT, that doesn't tie in with all the other siblings 9 of them.  So now that I have got onto the GRO, I am cross referencing them all.  I am fairly confident that Grace's parents are in fact William & Martha as the same family appear in various Censuses.  Your advice was pretty sound when you suggested leaving out the surname so thanks for that

Thanks so much hanes teulu for your info as it is coming in very handy.  I get so bamboozled with all the links to various sites that I find it hard to back track but I guess "patience is a virtue".  Thanks once again

The 1861 census for the family (RG09, 4370, 13, 20) shows Grace's surname as Roberts, the surname for the rest of the family is Prichard.

The birth registration index for Anglesey has Grace daughter of Martha Roberts b. 18 Jul 1850, Bodedern. There is no father named on the birth certificate. FreeBMD/GRO has the birth registration Anglesey Sep 1850 27, 415, mmn blank. (added as mentioned by Dundee, above)

Some of the later children were registered as Prichard/Pritchard but I haven't found a marriage for Martha Roberts and William Prichard:

Margaret dau. of William Prichard & Martha Roberts, 6 Jun 1855, Llechylched
Edward son of William Prichard & Martha Roberts, 30 Apr 1857, Bodedern
Mary dau. of William Prichards & Martha Roberts, 1 Apr 1859, Bodedern
John son of William Prichard & Martha Roberts, 21 Dec 1864, Bodedern
Martha dau. of William Pritchard & Martha Roberts, 2 Apr 1869, Bodedern
