    Kerry Prentice brings to our attention the family of Samuel Prentice in the 1881 East Anglia census. To that family we have added additional information about his father:

    1. John Prentice, b. c. 1792, Oundle, Northamptonshire, England. He appears in the 1861 census in Oundle, Northamptonshire, England, with his son, Samuel, and Samuel's family. John had 1 or more children, including:

    1. Samuel Prentice, b. c. 1825 in Oundle, Northampton, England. . . . . . . . . . . . . . [2]

    2. Samuel Prentice was b. c. 1825 in Oundle, Northampton, England. He appears in the 1861 amd 1881 Oundle census living at North Street "Carpenters Arms", Oundle. He was a Cabinet Maker & Publican. Also shown are his wife and children.

    He m. Ann, b. c. 1830, at Stanton On Wye, Hereford, England. Remarkably, all of their 9 children shown in the 1881 census were daughters:

    1. Mary Prentice, b. c. 1856 at Oundle, a Schoolmistress.
    2. Elizabeth Prentice, b. c. 1858, Oundle.
    3. Ann Prentice, b. c. 1859, Oundle.
    4. Charlotte Prentice, b. c. 1861, Oundle.
    5. Rebecca Prentice, b. c. 1863, Oundle.
    6. Ellen Prentice, b. c. 1866, Oundle.
    7. Sarah Prentice, b. c. 1868, Oundle.
    8. Mary Prentice, b. c. 1870, Oundle.
    9. Katie B. Prentice, b. c. 1872, Oundle.

    Who is John Prentice's wife, and who are his parents?

    John Prentice, b. c. 1792, Oundle, does not appear in the 1841 or 1851 census.

    We do note, however, that the IGI shows that Samuel Prentice m. Sarah England on 11 Aug 1778 in Oundle, Northampton, England. Investigation is continuing to determine whether they are John Prentice's parents, an interesting possibility since John named a son, "Samuel.".
