Hello again, These two PRATTs are a little more straightforward and have come forward in time. They are brother and sister: Thomas Alfred, born 1852 and Mary Ann PRATT, born 1849 at West Clandon. Their parents were Thomas PRATT born 1826, West Clandon and Mary Ann BREWSTER born 1828 St Pancras. I have all the census information following them from West Clandon to Liskeard in Cornwall. In 1881 I believe I have found Thomas Alfred in the 'Railway Inn' in Wells, Somerset, but I cannot locate Mary Ann. I have tried marriages for both, but to no avail, and also deaths. I couldn't find them emigrating to the USA. Fingers crossed that by some magic, an expert on the list can find them for me. Di PS I think I have confused two Thomas' in my previous message, but Thomas senior was definitely a keeper!

Hello Di, According to the 1881 census via Familysearch, Thomas PRATT senior had a grandson living in his household, in Bratton-Clovelly, Devon, a Thomas PRATT, aged 4, b.Ireland. What do you know of this child? Have you considered the possibility of Mary Ann (b. 1848) having gone to Ireland? Could young Thomas be her son?
