Thanks, mpg. That strongly tends to confirm it's the same Alfred Pritchard because Algernon Lewis in the excerpt you've provided is probably a boy known in the family as "Buller" Lewis. I've got him and his brother as nephews of Clara who by the time of my grandparents' wedding in 1913 had, I gather, taken them in at 29 Albert Street, Lydney - I think they had been orphaned. The 1911 census for the Albert Street address shows my grandfather as lodger, and his 1913 wedding photo (to Frances Sterrey who doesn't appear to have been at the address on the 1911 census night) has the two Lewis boys in it.

I should certainly be interested to learn where Frances Sterrey was that night. She might have been up Primrose Hill.

The connection between teaching and music isn't surprising. I could give another Lydney example if it were more relevant to this thread regarding Primrose Hill.
