1. Henry Prentice was b. c. 1802, Essex, England. He appears in the 1841 and 1851 census in Horndon on the Hill, Essex , with his wife and family. He does not appear in the 1861 and later census.
He m. Susan, b. c. 1800, Essex, England. She is deceased by the 1851 census. Known children:
- Charlotte Prentice, b. c. 1828, Essex. Not in 1851 census.
- Emma Prentice, b. c. 1831, Essex. She may, or may not, be the Emma Prentice shown in the 1851 census as b. c. 1830, Releigh, Essex, as a servant in the home of George and Sophia Neech in Kensington, Middlesex.
- Eliza Prentice, b. c. 1833, Horndon on the Hill, Essex.
- Martha Prentice, b. c. 1836, Horndon Hill, Essex (per 1851 census). She appears in the 1851 census in Stanford le Hope, Essex, (about 2-3 miles SE of Horndon) as a servant in the home of Hester Stanbury.
- Rebecca Prentice, b. c. 1840, Horndon on the Hill, Essex. At home with her widowed father in the 1851 census in Horndon on the Hill.
The only possible clue we have for now is in the IGI which shows James Prentice as chr. 8 Oct 1769, East Horndon, Essex, which lies about 5 miles NNW of Horndon on the Hill. His age is such that he might be Henry's father. He does not appear in the 1841 census. James He was the son of James Prentice and Ann.
