Edward Ellison Prichard

  Notes:

From Ann G-P research.

Can't track them down at all, apart from wedding. Can't find sons. Suspect lived abroad, presumably in Australia due to son.

From Wendy; Medical Times and Gazette October 1871 - Prichard Bateman On October 14 1871 at the New Church College Chapel, Devonshire Street. Edward Ellison Prichard son of Henry Prichard Esq of Stanley Gardens Kensington Park to Helen Maria daughter of Henry Bateman FRCS of Compton Terrace Highbury

Wendy found; The London Standard Friday 14 July 1882
Deaths:
Prichard - June 16 accidentally drowned, while bathing, at Sea Point, Cape Town, Edward Ellison Prichard, late P.W.D., Cape Colony, third surviving son of the late Henry Prichard Esq of 14 Stanley Gardens W. aged 34
But this doesn't match later sightings !??! Stanley Gardens is correct though. Odd.

Wendy found him (only) on 1901 census ; Living in Northwood Road Highgate/Hornsey North London. Is down as being married (not widowed) and occupying two rooms. Occupation Retired civil engineer, born Brixton. Wonder where Helen Maria was?

Wendy found ; Passenger list for SS Oceanic departed Liverpool 26 July 1905 for New York. Edward Ellison Prichard Civil Engineer. Purpose of visit ' to vist son in Baddeck? Cape Breton.'

Wendy; 1911 Census; Living at Maseree(?), Tennyson Road, Bognor along with a housekeeper and a caretaker. Says is married but still no sign of Helen Maria !

From Helen's book ""...... my husband is a civil engineer in the Government service, and that his appointment (at that time) was that of Inspector of Roads for the Transkei - a large district about a hundred miles in length ..... At the time my husband entered upon his duties, this Transkei district was in a most unsettled state; and as he was engaged in boundary work between hostile tribes, Government thought it expedient to provide him with an escort of mounted police"

Edward married Helen Maria Bateman, daughter of Dr. Henry Charles# Bateman FRCS, LSA and Elizabeth Helen (pref Helen)# Senior, on 14 Oct 1871 in Islington, London. (Helen Maria Bateman was born on 19 Oct 1846 in Islington, London and died on 28 May 1920 in Peckham, London.)
