Shared note

5-Jun-06 Denis Rawlinson initially had her born 1874 (possibly from 1881 census record, where she is recorded as age 7) but in the 1891 census record (see email from Denis Rawlinson 4-Jun-06) she is staed to be aged 18 (born 1872/73) and the only appropriate GRO reference is the one for 3Q 1872. 12-Jun-06 Later confirmed by IGI record as noted by Denis Rawlinson in email 7-Jun-06

email from Nick Hopkins 3-Aug-04: "One other family connection may interest you. Pritchard's cousin, also from Maesteg, Windsor Lewis, was capped for Wales at fly half on six occasions in 1926-28. My father believes that this connection is through one of Sydney's sisters who married a Maesteg doctor. Indeed there is a record of a Windsor Hopkin Lewis, birth registered 1907 in Bridgend district, on the BRD register. A google search will give a 20s cigarette card and picture. If the above record is him, it seems he was capped at 19, whilst playing for London Welsh. In later years he became a GP in Cambridge where he had attended university and was heavily involved in CURFC. His son Geoffrey is currently secretary of the Barbarians. My father remembers meeting Windsor a couple of times, and seeing his son in action."

The birth is: Births Jan-Mar 1907 Lewis, Windsor Hopkin, Bridgend RD, 11a 875

Later found a rugby Web site which gave date of birth of Windsor Hopkin Lewis as 11 Nov 1906 in Maesteg, death 30 Nov 1982 in Nottingham. http://statistics.scrum.com/rugby_stats_05.asp?ID=WLE19 Apparently there is a portrait of him in the National Gallery! http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp83121

The most likely candidate for his mother is Mary Louisa Hopkin (the other sisters all died young or would have been quite young by 1907) and I found this possible marriage on FreeBMD: Marriages Jun 1899 Grey Martha Jane Swansea 11a 1510 Hopkin Mary Swansea 11a 1510 Hussey Albert Swansea 11a 1510 Lewis Richard Swansea 11a 1510
