Ok mirth over, this is a serious enquiry about my Pratt ancestors in various areas of Birmingham.
My Great-great grandparents John Pratt (a Watchmaker and Jeweller) and Elizabeth Rigby, married in Preston and had 13 Children, the earlier of them (including my great-grandfather) were born in Preston but the following were born in Birmingham.
Josiah, 1866 in Aston
Frederick, c.1868 in Smethwick
Alice, c.1870 in Birmingham somewhere.
Josiah I know went to Canada and was a founding father of the town of Bracebridge in Ontario, but can anyone connect to Frederick or Alice?
Later children were born in London. My Great-great grandfather John, emigrated to Ontario after my Great-great grandmother died, where he helped to found a Church, which still exists today in the Lake of Bays area of Ontario.
Any help in finding connections to Frederick and Alice would be gratefully received....
