Found a Margaret L Edwards who married a David R Bradsworth which could possibly a remarriage maybe after John Pritchard not sure, I have sent her a message and its in the same area as Margaret L Edwards and John Pritchard's marriage. so even of she isn't with him obviously now she may know where he went after they split ,just a possibility and the age fits

Supercrutch I found that to and called them but there was never any answer .

And yes I'm not joking I have made my own group on Facebook and Twitter for this and also I've posted on many Facebook groups to mNy to count and I'm not joking. Including ponty born and bred and south Wales community page and loads of others

Thanks though

There is a possible marriage:

Pontypridd 1962

John G Pritchard
Margaret L Edwards

There are a couple of births in Ponty which COULD be their issue.

Have you joined a local Pontypridd group on FB?

That's how we share our research for my village? (Everyone knows everyone else lol)

HI Sarah

As T&C vary from site to site, you may not have appreciated what they are on GR.
As your father and , until proved otherwise, David James Allison are still alive, it would be best to remove their full date of birth. This is to lessen the chances of identity theft.

Try using the Search All Member Trees on this site - top right under 'search'. If anyone lists the missing men, send them a message asking if they have any further details. Explain why you are looking for them.

Hi my name's Sarah, I'm trying to trace some of my dads old school friends. I have found quite a few and they are back in touch with one another.
Two who I keep hitting a dead end with all the time are the two people mentioned in the subject of this and we have been looking for these two for over fours years now, there are posts all over the internet and it's been on radio station's etc and still nothing so this is our last resort.

DAVID JAMES ALLISON
_____________________
D.O.B Sept 1939(we do know his full date of birth) but David himself or anyone who really knows that will be able to confirm that to us

Thought to of been born in Pontypridd south Wales, and it turns out from what
I have found out so far that he was actually born in high Wycombe and at some point moved to Pontypridd, we have photos of him as a child,

His mothers maiden name was brooks

He had a sister Margaret

He was at school with my dad in 1951-1958

My dad remembers him living at number 42 middle street he thinks.

He was known as jimmy at school

He loved art and planes from what my dad remembers

He went to university after he left school but we have no idea which one and my dad met him on the day he was starting uni briefly but that's all he can remember.

He was in the A.T.C 557 squadron at school with my dad



JOHN GLYNDWR PRITCHARD
__________________________

D.O.B march 1940 we believe

Born in Pontypridd

Mothers maiden name was bloodworth

He loved cricket and other sports

He also attended university after school but that's the last my dad heard from him

he lived in Thurston road Pontypridd

Rumours going round after posts put up on the internet by myself were that he'd moved to south Africa but I can't trace him there.
Another friend my dad knew back then said recently she'd heard he'd died in Exeter a few years ago. But no death records can be found

Could of been Glyn-dwr or glyndwr ,my dad just said he never saw the middle name written



My dads name is Gareth Wheeler Aug 1939


These two were my dads best friends and my dad used to live at no8 ceridwen terrace Pontypridd and we have pics of John Pritchard and David Allison with my dad.
