Update of 20 May 2008: Alfred Henry Prentice is a descendant of Henry Prentice of Brockdish, Norfolk Co. England . That article now replaces this article.
Celia Bradley of Tibenham, Norfolk, hasbeen collecting historical and interesting information on Tibenham and surrounding area. Tibenham is in a group of villages where permission was not given to the LDS for inclusion on the IGI Tibenham is in a group of churches overseen by same vicar The other villages in this group are Carleton Rode, Great Moulton Aslacton. Celia identified the following Prentice family for us: Celia
1. Alfred Henry Prentice was b. c. 1859 in Long Stratton, Norfolk, England. He appears inthe 1881 census as a farm labourer living on Wash lane in Tibenham, Norfolk, with his wife and family.
He m. Susanna, b. c. 1846, Moulton, Norfolk. Children of Alfred and Susanna:
- Laura Amelia Ringer, step dau., b. c. 1869, Tibenham, Norfolk.
- William Atkins, stepson, b. c. 1871, Moulton, Norfolk
- Frederick Ringer, stepson, b. c. 1878, Tibenham.
Alfred does not appear in the IGI.
Long Stratton is about 6 miles from Tibenham and Moulton about 2 -3 miles from Tibenham Carleton Rode, Aslacton, Gissing,Banham and Tivetshall all border Tibenham. Additional information about Tibenham can be found on their website at http://www.tibenham.fsnet.co.uk/
