John m. 1st Sophia Sheppard from Earl Soham, Suffolk at St. Margaret's Church, Lowestoft, Suffolk on 13 Sep 1838. Sophia was b.c. 1810, Earl Scham, Suffolk, and d. 13 May 1866. They appear in the 1861 census in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

John Prentice m. 2nd Elizabeth Harriet Hughes, a carpenter's daughter from Lowestoft, Suffolk, with an illigitimate son, John W.E. Hughes. Elizabeth Harriet Prentice died 27 Jan 1909. They do not appear in the 1781 and later census and the couple had no children together.

12-1.  Charles William Prentice. We have conflcting information on his date of birth. One of our correspondents says that Charles was b.c. 1846. However, English census records place his birth date at c. 1857-8, Whitechapel (per 1881 Shoreditch, London, census and 1891 St. George in the East, London, census).

Appears with parents on Census returns until mother Sophia's death and also appears as beneficiary in grandmother - Mary Amelia Prentice's Will.

Karen (Prentice) Raspin's email of 16 Jul 2002 provides additional information.She indicates that both her grandfather and great grandfather were showmen and also high ranking officers in the Masons. Charles was called "Professor Johnson" on stage and was regarded as a "leading exponent of the Black Art" (comments made by the World's Fair newspaper on the death of Charles John). Wendy Prentice's email of 7 Mar 2006 indicates that Charles appears in the 1901 census in Leamington Priors, Warwickshire, aged 55 (indicating he was born in 1846) as a Racing Official.

Charles m. Catherine Mary Roseburg on 2nd July 1877 (per her marriage record and marriage record of her son, Charles. (Curiously and likely erroneously since census records show her name as Catherine, above, Charles birth and death record identify Charles' mother as Caroline Mary Farrell.) Whatever her maiden surname, the 1881 census says that Catherine was b.c. 1861 at Mile End, Middlesex while the 1891 census says she was at St. George in the East, London. In the 1891 census they were living in St. George in the East, London. They seem not to appear in the 1901 census. Charles and Catherine had 1 or more children, including:

1. Charles John Prentice, b. Oct 1878, Whitechapel, Middlesex.. . . . . [12-2]
2. Annie V. Prentice, b.c. 1881, Hoxton, London. At home in 1891.
3. Emma R. Prentice, b.c. 1883, St. George in the East, London. At home in 1891.
4. Joseph Prentice, b.c. 1886, Mile End, London. At home in 1891. Not in 1901 census.

12-2.  Charles John Prentice, son of Charles and Catherine, was b. Oct 1878 at 2 East Mount Terrace, Whitechaple (but the 1891 census says he was b. Hoxton, London), d. Jun 1946 and is bur. in Easter Road Cem., Edinburgh.

He traveled throughout the British Isles with his parents joining the "act" at the age of 14. He settled in Edinburgh, Scotland, around 1900 and married the love of his life, Emily Burton in 1906. She d. 1952, 6 years after Charles.

Emily's family were also show and fairground people, with her father being Alfie Burton of Galloper fame. Emily came from a large family and is said to have 7 sisters and 1 brother. Charles served in WW I with distinction with the Royal Marines He later became Secretary of the Scottish Section of the Showmen's Guild in 1920. Children of Charles and Emily:

13.  George Everitt Prentice, (son of John and Sophia) b. 20 Oct 1847 in Lowestoft, Suffolk. At home in the 1861 census. We believe George left home when his mother Sophia died on 13 May 1866 (his father's new wife, Elizabeth Harriet (nee Hughes) was some 20 years younger than his father). In 1871 he was a single resident in Lowestoft. Not in the 1881 census. He appears in 1885 in Hackney, London in 1885 as a Shipping Clerk. George and his wife appear in the 1891 census in Heigham, Norfolk, and later, in the 1901 census, again in Lowestoft. In the 1890s he was working as a Chemist's Assistant in Lowestoft. George worked as a railway porter at Lowestoft Station in Suffolk until his death in 1930.

He m. Emily Couchman c. 1890. She was b.c. 1851, Kildown, Kent (per 1891 census) and d. 1918. In the 1881 Census appears to have been married to an Edwin Couchman and had two children, but what happened in the years 1881 to 1885 we do not know. George appears on his son's birth certificate as the father but his surname is not given, and when we found the son's entry of birth in national records he appears as Ernest Everitt Couchman Prentice.

Children of George Everitt and Emily Prentice:

1. Charles W. Prentice, b.c. 1887, North Walsham, Norfolk. He appears in the 1901 census, age 15, as an Upholsterer Worker and living at 15 Stevens St., Lowestoft, Suffolk (per Wency Prentice, email, 7 Mar 2006).
