Pritchard and Edmunds Family History

 

Pritchard Family Page

Most of the research into the Australian side of the family has been undertaken by a relative, Bill Pritchard, in Adelaide. I have tried to fill in the gaps of the family history before the Pritchard family emigrated to Australia in 1839 and the family that stayed behind.

Michael's father, John Joseph (Jack) Pritchard was educated at St. Augustines Day School, Unley from where he won a scholarship to Pulteney Grammar School. He excelled at mathematics. His name can be seen on the Roll of Honour board.
He met his wife Muriel while they were students at Oxford. He eventually became Professor of. Anatomy at Queens University Belfast until his death in 1979. A brilliant teacher and much loved by his students, family and friends.

I will be adding plenty of information about the Pritchards in the near future so please visit again.
