Update of 28 May 2007: John Prentice is John William Prentice, #3 iii (b) in our Fall 2001 article about John Thomas Prentice of England and Australia . That article now replaces this article.
1. John Prentice, b. c. 1850-1866, at an unknown location, m. Isabella Y Dunn in 1886 in Hamilton, NSW, Australia. Children (per NSW BMD):
- Jane H. Prentice, b. 1887, Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
- Margaret S. Prentice, b. 1890, Hamilton, NSW, Australia.
- John Prentice, b. 1897, Merewether, NSW, Australia.
- Elizabeth Prentice, b. 1899, Merewether, NSW, Australia.
If one were to assume that John Prentice was b. in NSW, the only John in an appropriate time frame would be the John W. Prentice shown in NSW BMD records as b. 1857, son of Charles W. Prentice and Catherine C. of Maitland, NSW. No marriage for them is shown in NSW BMD. Whether they are his parents needs further investigation.
NSW BMD records also show that 1857 John Prentice (son of Charles and Catherine) had a brother, Charles H. Prentice, b. 1855, NSW. No marriage for him is shown in NSW BMD.
