Hello everyone..
I am the granddaughter of a Pritchard.   Mr. William Chapel Pritchard,
born August 24th 1899.  He died in Norfolk VA in July 1971.

I am looking to find my family on his side. Any info or stories about his
parents, their sibling's and their voyager to North America.



William was born in North Carolina, but moved to Virginia at a
young age
and first worked as a elevator man in Norfolk VA.  He later married
Blanche "Murden", who became Mrs. Pritchard. He went to work for the
Norfolk Water Department and retired around 1958 because on sickness.

* Blanche "Murden" Pritchard, his wife, was the daughter of Annie Virginia
Griffin and Fred Murden of Virginia.   They had 4 sons named
*  William "Billy" Pritchard.  Deceased.
*  Bobby Pritchard.  Deceased.
*  Joe Pritchard.  Deceased.
*  Tony Pritchard.  Lives in Norfolk VA.
Daughter are
*  Ruth "Pritchard" Graves.  Married Tommy Graves of the Connecticut
   Graves.  Deceased.  They have a daughter Linda Graves, who married
   David Maynard of Norfolk VA.  A granddaughter was born of this union
   named Dawn Maynard,  They are all alive and live in Norfolk VA still. Dawn married and has a daughter Samantha.

*  Lois Ann "Pritchard" Ostiguy(1st married to Anthony Ostiguy of
   Providence RI), Fuller(2nd marriage to Maurice Fuller of Virginia".
   There were 4 children born of the first marriage, and their names are
   Donna Ostiguy, Tony John Ostiguy, Virginia Ann Ostiguy, Dino Ostiguy(he
   died in infancy), Mark Dwaine Ostiguy (deceased 2003). She lives in Chesapeake VA.
*  Shirley Pritchard.  Lives in Norfolk VA.

    His sister's name was Neppie, and there were 2 brothers I've heard
    named, George and Jim. I know nothing about the brothers.


  Neppie married a Mr "Bunch" and they have 3 daughters 

*   Bessie Bunch 
*   Mary Bunch 
*   Lena Bunch 
And a son named 

*   Jack Bunch.
______________________________________________________________

*   Bessie married a Man named "Knowell?, Noel?, Knowill ?" and she
    has three children named Dorothy, Eilvea ?, and June. Her second
    marriage was to a Mr Bruno.

*   Jack Bunch has a son named * Tommy Bunch who may live in Arizona 


*   Mary Bunch married a Mr."DeBusk" and I believe may lived in
    Chesapeake VA. She has children named Barbara Debusk and Fay Debusk.
 
  I hope I didn't bore you with this family rundown... and I hope
you can help me fill in the gaps.  Hey, maybe I also helped someone
looking on the same vein as me!

Be well all..

Your friend through the Pritchard's

Donna
