    1. Walter Joseph Prentice was b. 1904 in Brentford, England, about 5 miles west of central London. Brentford is a town in Hounslow, a borough of Greater London. It is in the istoric county of Middlesex. The England and Wales FreeBMD Birth Index show him b. in the Jul-Aug-Sep Quarter of 1904.

    He is mentioned in the 24 and 26 Feb 2009 Ancestry.com Connection Service email from Megzia which reads, in part, as follows:

      "Walter Joseph Prentice married Annie Moran at St. Mary's RC Church, Whifflet, Coatbridge on 4 October 1935. The marriage certificate gives his parents as Walter Joseph Prentice and Mary Ann Balsavitch. Family gossip is that at the time of his marriage, his birth certificate could not be found but it is known that he was born [1904 in Brentford, England]. He died in November 1972 in Coatbridge aged 68 years. There were three children by his marriage, Daniel (1937-1987), Margaret (1935-1991) and Agnes (1942-)."
