Update of 3 Aug 2011: Jannet Prentice is #5.2(i) in our Spring 2002 article entitled William Prentice of Carstairs, Lanark, Scotland . That article now replaces this article.
1. Jannett Prentice was b. c. 1861 in Scotland. She appears in the 1881 census in Luther West, Luther East, Wellington North, Ontario, Canada, in the home of William Hamilton, b. c. 1825, Scotland, and his wife, Eliza, b. c. 1833, Scotland. Also appearing in the home were:
- Robert Prentice, 1865, Scotland
- Thomas Prentice, 1867, Scotland
- George Prentice, b. c. 1869, Scotland
- William James Hamilton, b. c. 1861, Ontario
- Maregret Hamilton, b. c. 1863, Ontario
- Thomas Hamilton, b. c. 1865, Ontario
- Marion Hamilton, b. c. 1866, Ontario
- Elezebeth Hamilton, Elizabeth, b. c. 1867, Ontario
- John Hamilton, b. c. 1869, Ontario
- Charles Hamilton, b. c. 1870, Ontario
- Jane Hamilton, b. c. 1872, Ontario
- Sarah Hamilton, b. c. 1874, Ontario
- Robina Hamilton, b. c. 1876, Ontario
- William Hamilton, b. c. 1880-81, Ontario
- James Robinson, b. c. 1881, Ontario
It seems highly likely that those children are those of William Prentice, b. c. 1823, Carstairs, Lanarkshire, and Elizabeth, b. c. 1833, Lanark, Lanarkshire, who appear in the 1871 census in Lanark, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Who are William and Elizabeth? Only a guess for now, but:
- William might be the son of James Prentice and Margaret Start, #6 in our Spring 2002 article about
- the William Prentice who m. Eliza Prosser as shown in the IGI as parents of Thomas Prentice, b. 28 Nov 1865, Lanark, lanarkshire.
