Can anyone read the place of birth for John Pritchard on the 1851 census apart from Wales. Llan --------- Might help to find a possible baptism

Not seeing a John Pritchard on the 1861 census in West Derby - they are all in Wales

There is one with only initials of JP who appears to be in the Workhouse as a Pauper. His trade is Joiner born in Wales in 1788 and the RD is Liverpool

Using the fairly new GRO website facility which you can search for free (you just have to register) And just searching in the West Derby RD the following comes up as a close age match i.e. 62 when he died in 1854 (he's 58 on the 1851 census)

There is no certainty that it is him, but if you buy the certificate, which you can do through the site, the informant may be a relative. The cost will be £9.25

Results:
PRITCHARD, JOHN 62
GRO Reference: 1854 S Quarter in WEST DERBY Volume 08B Page 378

THATS GREAT, Only info missing now is the following:-

death of William (born 1839)

death of John (born 1792) i.e. Williams father

name of Johns father (date of birth and death)


Many thanks
