Hi Eileen Welcome to the list. FreeReg (http://freereg.rootsweb.com/search/index.htm ) has transcriptions of marriages from St Mary's Amersham for the period you are likely looking at (up to 1837), also baptisms from the Amersham Meeting House up until 1837 - non-conformity was very popular in this area. I also know that my own lot (not Pratts) skipped about between Amersham and Little Missenden, often more than once each generation, so don't forget to look in surrounding parishes as well as Amersham itself. Another easily accessible source for you will be the extracted batches in the IGI however it looks like there's less coverage there than at FreeReg (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyBuckingham.htm#PageTitle has the relevant batch numbers) Otherwise you could visit the record office, if you are close enough, to check out the parish records, or order the films through your local LDS family history centre - that's what I did. You forgot to tell us your g-g-grandfather's first name and the approximate date/year that his two children (that you do know about) were born. Looking quickly at FreeReg & the extracted batches in the IGI there was certainly a James Pratt and wife Elizabeth aka Peggy in Amersham in the 1820s-1830s, so possibly a relative (or even a first wife if your man was a James?). Good luck!
