The Pratts in my family come from Phineas PRATT, who came to America shortly after the pilgrims.

http://www.pilgrimhall.org/prattphineas.htm

“Phineas Pratt was a member of a company of men sent from England by Thomas Weston. They arrived in New England in 1622 on three ships : the Sparrow, Charity and Swan (Pratt was a passenger on the Sparrow, the first to arrive). The approximately 67 men, many of them ailing, arrived with no provisions.”

A new community-based online initiative has just been launched in SE22 and neighbouring areas…streetbank.com. I think you might like it – a combination of freecycle and facebook…..it’s already working to bring communities together in Hammersmith and Fulham – and hopefully will soon take off in the south too… watch this space…!

My mother’s name was Pratt before she married. Her father was Walter Maurice Pratt. I have just been told that he was a relation to William Henry Pratt. I am not quite sure how but it would be nice to know more about my maternal family. So if anyone knows more I would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Percy Lane Oliver was my Great Uncle. His brother Douglas Oliver is my Grandfather and Melinda is my Daughter. As far as I know my son Paul Oliver is the sole remaining relative to carry on this branch of the Oliver lineage anmd to date he only has a Daughter.

Does anyone here know what year Richard Septimus Pratt died?

Richard Septimus Pratt and his brother, Sir John Thomas Pratt, were both colleagues (in the British Consular Service in China) of a relative of mine whose life I’m researching. Any info (particularly the year R.S. Pratt died) would be very gratefully received.

Thanks, Tim.

Hi Vivien
Then we must be related, because he was an ancester of mine
too.
