Update of 25 Jun 2008: This article is replaced by our Fall 2008 article about Thomas Prentice of Luther West, Wellington North, Ontario, Canada .
We are helping Penny Warne is efforts to trace her Prentice roots. Here is what we have so far:
1. Thomas Prentice was b. at an unknown date and place.
He m. Marion Hamilton.of West Luther Twp., Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada. Marion is the daughter of William Hamilton From Carnwath, Lanark County, Scotland (near Glasgow) and Sarah Robison from Ireland.
Thomas and Marion had a farm in West Luther Township, not far fron the village of Arthur.
Elsewhere on PrenticeNet, on the cemetary listings page, we find the following burials:
- Marion PRENTICE, Greenfield Cemetery, Albert-Bethel-Eden Vale-Hope-Mt Carmel, Wellington, Peel; WW-4357
- Thomas PRENTICE, Greenfield Cemetery, Albert-Bethel-Eden Vale-Hope-Mt Carmel, Wellington, Peel; WW-4357
It seems probable that Thomas Prentice appears in the 1911 census in Luther West, Wellington North, Ontario. They do not appear in the earlier 1901 census. That family is as follows:
- Thomas Prentice, Head, b. Nov 1866. Widower.
- Robert Prentice, Brother, b. Feb 1865. Single.
- Elizabeth/Lizzie Fessey, Daughter-in-law, b. Dec 1891. Married. It is unclear who her husband is since all males in the census were widowed or single.
- Oswald Prentice, b. Jan 1894. Single.
- Thomas Prentice, b. Jan 1897. Single.
- Douglas Prentice, b. Nov 1901. Single.
Lacking information as to Thomas' birth date, it is unclear whether he is the 1866 or 1897 Thomas Prentice.
