Anthony J. Pritchard was born on 5th March 1937 in Pontypridd in South Wales. Although most of his upbringing and all his school education was in Bristol, England, he always regarded himself as Welsh. This feeling was reinforced when, during his university days in London, he paired up for life with Buddug, who was born in the same year in Denbighshire, North Wales, and spoke Welsh fluently. He took a B.Sc. degree in mathematics at Kings College, London in 1958. After only a year as a Ph.D. student at Imperial College, he became the proud father of a baby daughter Ŝıan. His new financial responsibilities dictated that he leave in 1959 with a Diploma of Imperial College to take up a teaching post at Filton high school in Bristol. By 1964 three more daughters Catrin, Rhian and Ceri, had been born in quick succession, resulting in a bevy of 4 girls under the age of 5.
