I've started working on my grandmother's genealogy. I know very little about her and her family. Her name was Gertrude Mae Prentice and was born in New York somewhere around October 17, 1895. She married my grandfather Harry Edward Cable on October 16 1919 in the District of Columbia. I have several photo's but can only pick out my grandmother. I am assuming the others are other family members. One of the photos has a Mr. & Mrs. William Prentice. but I don't know if they are parents or maybe an aunt and uncle. In the 1900 and 1910 census there is a Gertrude M Prentice with a mother named Anna or Annie with a possible sister named Alice Prentice (Johnson). I really don't know if this is her or not.
My dad's first cousin was Marguerite Prentice who married a Dan Daddysman and lived in San Jose, California.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. » Carol Thompson [added: 2019-10-21] |

I am searching for information regarding Robert Prentice, a ploughman, b. ~1762 (one ancestry tree has his birth year 1785 but no other information on him), Scotland. He was married to or had a child with Agnes Boyd b ~1773. The child, Margaret Prentice was baptized 21 Jan 1804 in Dalserf, Lanark, Scotland, so born in 1803? I can find no other information about him. It's likely Agnes died while Margaret was very young as a Robert Prentice, also a ploughman, married Elizabeth Frame in 1806, a widow, later and had four more children, John b 1809, Ann b 1810, Robert b 1811 and Alexander Prentice b 1815 in Lanarkshire, Scotland. (I originally did not know of Ann until I found the other ancestry tree.) They would be Margaret's half siblings if it is the same Robert.
Robert would be my 3rd great-grandfather, and his daughter, Margaret, would be my 2nd great-grandmother. Any additional information is greatly appreciated. Thank you. » Amy Schelich [added: 2019-07-08] |

Hi I am doing research on my father's side of the family. His mother name is Leda Vir, her father is Theophile Vir, his father is Norbert Vir, his father is Peter Veer who was married to Mary Ann Prentice which is written in many different ways as you mention all things Prentice. I know she was born in 1794 and was married November 20, 1814 to Peter in Quebec. I am looking for her parents names which seems quite evasive. Some say she is from England, others say she is from the states and some say she was native.
Any opportunity for some clarity and direction I need to take will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am looking for the parents for my greatgrandfather Alexander Prentice born, I believe in Ontario Canada 1857, d Lake Stevens, WA 1936. I believe his dad was from Nova Scotia, unsure though. Also would like to know his mother's name and place of origin. I believe he has mixed bloodline of Scottish and First Nations from Canada. I do know he immigrated to US, state of WI in 1883 and my grandad name is Daniel E Prentice, b. 1897 in WI and d 1974, in Snohomish Co., WA state. My goal is to see if the First Nations blood line exists in my family as my grandma told us it did but didn't get chance to ask her more before her death. Thank you! » Daniel Prentice [added: 2019-02-19] |

Hi
I am trying to track a Prentice family who are in Rochford, Hockley, Paglesham and Canewdon. They are mostly labourers so not of the same social level as the main family on this site, but so close physically as makes it seem impossible that there is no connection. My connection is via Thomas Prentice b. 1809 at Canewdon, who married Sarah Heigho June qtr 1854 probably at Canewdon. His father was William Prentice who married Sarah Smith 1 May 1793 at Canewdon. I am also connected to 'sideways', but not related to, Tabors and Englishs at Bocking and Braintree, and via that line to Golden Prentice. It would be interesting to know whether there is any connection between the two apparently disparate families.
Many thanks
