Thomas Pritchard , Chief Constable circa 1780's

My wife Merlyn's great, great, grand uncle, Thomas Pritchard, held the position of Chief Constable in Leicester during the 1770's to 1790's. He had seven sons, and the youngest Thomas migrated to Australia and settled in Bendigo, Victoria in 1850's, as a result of the gold rush. He married a Mary Stevenson, who also was born in Leicester. Thomas joined with a colleague Chamberlain to form Pritchard and Chamberlain, Brewery. His son Thomas Pritchard joined the firm. He was a well known opera singer in Bendigo. He named his house Leicester after his father's birthplace.
