I have a name caroline for john wife not sure if that's right

that cant be the one john I have married b 1851 its his parents im looking for

Who were the witnesses on the marriage?

Ok- think this may take some time to work out, so bear with me-

This John Pritchards is with the Postons family in 1851:

Think it's possible that the John Prichards born 1831 could be John's (born 1851) father.

the marriage to mercy nixon

yes- who were the witnesses when he married Mercy?

broadhust

Samuel and della

I thought seen the name postons I have carolines mother name ann Pritchard with a Thomas postons and then married a pritchard

This is Ann before she married Postons: I would think that John Pritchards born 1851 was the grandson of Ann- he May have been the illegitimate son of Caroline, or son of John?

I don't know the name of the Pritchard ann married or when she married postons

did ann marry a Pritchard before postons

Don't know June- can't find her marriage to Postons at the moment. Maybe someone else will take a look.
