While browsing Family Tree Maker.genealogy.com we found the family of James Irwin and Elizabeth Graham. Their children included Eliza Ann Irwin. She m. William Prentice. From that, we set out below information about them.

1. William Prentice may have been b. c. 1854-1860. We do not know where he was born, whether in Ireland or Canada. He d. in 1 Apr 1938, perhaps in, or near, Kazabazue, Quebec where his wife died 2 years earlier in 1936.

He m. Eliza Ann Irwin. She was b. 13 Apr 1859, probably in Quebec, Canada (her parents were m. 6 Sep 1849 in Wakefield, Quebec), and d. 19 Aug 1936, perhaps in Quebec. She was the dau. of James Irwin (b. 1826 in Ireland and d. 1902 in Kazabazua, Quebec) and Elizabeth Graham (b. 1826, Ireland and d. 1896 in Kazabazua, Quebec).

It is not presently known whether they had children.

Although the 1881 Canada census shows multiple men named William Prentice in Ontario, there is only 1 shown in Quebec. He is the son shown in the following household:

Whether that William Prentice, b. c. 1860, is the one who married Eliza Ann Irwin requires further investigation.
