We have been corresponding with Phil Dawkins and Mary Prentice about their Prentice ancestors. Phil Dawkins, by email of 22 Sep 2000 and by his website at Descendants of Thomas Prentice , and Mary Prentice, by email of 1 Feb 2002, have provided us with the names of the presently known descendants of their earliest known ancestor, Thomas Prentice of Glemsford, Suffolk, England and have kindly permitted us to include them in our PRENTICE NEWSLETTER, together with additional information kindly provided by Ian Prentice and by Judith Dickson's email of 25 Mar 2005.

A word of caution: This is a work in progress and may be incomplete or have discrepencies. A viewer should undertake to provide his or her own independent confirmation of the information herein.

----------

1. Thomas Prentice. We do not have the date and place of his birth, but he was likely b. c. 1700-1715. The place was likely at, or within a few miles of, Borley, Suffolk, where his children, William and Elizabeth, were born.

Ian Prentice advises that a John Prentys/Prentis lived in nearby Cabendish in 1613 and 1617 who had sons John Prentys,bap. 25 Nov 1613 and Thomas Prentis, bap. 6 Jan 1617, both at Cavendish (a short distance NW of Borley). That was about 90 years before Thomas 1700-1715 birth, so that John or Thomas might be Thomas' grandfather or great-grandfather.

Thomas married Alis/Alice Cranfield c. 1735 in Colchester St. Peter, Essex and bur. 13 Oct 1786 in Long Melford which lies less than 2 miles NE of Borley.   Borley and Long Melford lie about 25 miles NNE of Chelmsford and about 15 miles NE of Shalford and Great Saling where the ancestors of Valentine Prentice have their roots in the 1500s. In terms of time and mobility, a movement of 25 miles or less in 250 years is inconsequential.

Thomas Prentice and Alice Cranfield had at least three children:

1. William Prentice, chr. 25 Jun 1738, Borley (per Ian Prentice, 14 Feb 2001)
2. Thomas Prentice, b. c. 1736. . . . . . . [2]

1. Ann Prentice, bap. 23 Jan 1760, Long Melford.

Thomas m. 2nd Sarah Root 29 Dec 1761 in Long Melford, Suffolk. Long Melford lies about 25 miles NNE of Chelmsford, perhaps 3 miles north of Sudbury, and about 25 miles south of Bury St. Edmunds.

22. Henry Sheppard. Prentice, b. c. 1836 in Cavendish, Suffolk, and d. after 1881. We know that their daughter, Isabella, emigrated to Australia at some date before 1887, but it is not yet known whether Henry, his wife Sarah, and their other children also emigrated to Australia. The 1891 census in England does not list Henry or Edwin.

However, it might be that Henry and his wife died in England because the Excerpts from the National Burial Index list Henry Prentice buried 23 Aug 1887 aged 51years (the right age given his birth at 1836) and Sarah Ann Prentice being buried 21 Oct 1883 (no age), both at St Peter and St Paul Kedington, Suffolk. Although the 1881 Census has them living in Surrey in 1883, Sarah Ann and Isabella Diver were both born in Kedington (per Judy Dickson, email, 25 Mar 2005).

22.1 Isabella Diver Prentice, b. c. 1862, Kedington. In 1881 lived at 143 St George Rd., Southwark St. George Martyr, Sry. Isabel died on the 26 Oct 1957 in Brisbane and was cremated at Mt Thompson Crematorium on 28th Oct 1957. Her ashes were subsequently interred with her husband at Balmoral Cemetery on the 8th Jan 1958. It is not known yet known why, and when, Isabella emigrated to Australia, but it was some date after the 1881 census when she was living at home with her parents in England and before 23 May 1887 when she married.

She m. Frederick William Dickson in Sydney, Australia on 23 May 1887.

A Google search discloses the following:

Location: Mikra British Cemetery is situated aproximately 8 kilometres south of Thessaloniki, on the road to the airport, in the municipality of Kalamaria. Access is via the main entrance on Vryoylon Street, directly opposite the communal cemetery of Kalamaria.

Historical Information: At the invitation of the Greek Prime Minister, M. Venizelos, Salonika (now Thessalonika) was occupied by three French Divisions and the 10th (Irish) Division from Gallipoli in October 1915. Other French and Commonwealth forces landed during the year and in the summer of 1916, they were joined by Russian and Italian troops. In August 1916, a Greek revolution broke out at Salonika, with the result that the Greek national army came into the war on the Allied side.

The town was the base of the British Salonika Force, and it contained, from time to time, eighteen general and stationary hospitals. Three of these hospitals were Canadian, although there were no other Canadian units in the force. The earliest Commonwealth burials took place in the local Protestant and Roman Catholic cemeteries, and the Anglo-French (now Lembet Road) Military Cemetery was used from November 1915 to October 1918. The British Cemetery at Mikra was opened in April 1917, remaining in use until 1920. The cemetery was greatly enlarged after the Armistice when graves were brought in from a number of burial grounds in the area.

MIKRA BRITISH CEMETERY now contains 1,810 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, as well as 147 war graves of othe nationalities. Within the cemetery will be found the MIKRA MEMORIAL, commemorating almost 500 nurses, officers and men of the Commonwealth forces who died when troop transports and hospital ships were lost in the Mediterranean, and who have no grave but the sea. They are commemorated here because others who went down in the same vessels were
