Gwen Pritchard must also be related to Zita Pritchard...

Zita Pritchard was the niece of Elizabeth A Rook - always affectionately known as Auntie Lizzie in the family. She was married twice and had no children of her own, (Auntie Lizzie that is!). She is listed as staying with Auntie Lizzie and her first husband when aged 7 years in the 1881 Census living in Swansea but her place of birth is recorded as Coleford. Also with Auntie Lizzie at that time was Teresa Rook who was about 17 years old and listed as Auntie Lizzie's cousin. Teresa Rook was Paul Rook's daughter. Auntie Lizzie was Joseph Rook's (brother of Paul) daughter and she had two sisters: Mary and Jane born 1844 and 1848 resp. as well as a brother called Thomas Joseph Rook. If Zita is listed as Elizabeth's niece she is therefore likely to be either Mary or Jane's daughter and one of them is likely to have married a Mr. Pritchard. I can't find any record of either Mary or Jane beyond their birth records. They are likely either to have married in the RC Church at Monmouth or in a Methodist church as the family has both RC and Methodist roots.
Can anyone link Zita with Gwen and confirm whether or not either Mary or Jane (or indeed someone else) as Zita's mother? Thanks.
