Update of 19 Nov 2009: Ralph Hodd's email of 18 Nov 2009 also identifies Richard's parents as Robert Prentice and Mary. They appear to be the same persons as #3 in our Fall 1999 article entitled Richard Prentice of London, England . That article now replaces this article.
1. Unknown Prentice may have been b. c. 1810-1817, perhaps in London, England, and d. before 1851 when his wife appears without her husband in 1851 and as a widow in the 1861 Hammersmith, London, census.

Sarah in 1837 at Chelsea, London, and that in 1842 he was a "carman living at 5 Avery Farm Row, Ebury Square, Belgave, Middlesex. Ebury Square lies perhaps a half mile ENE of Chelsea and perhaps 2 miles east of Hammersmith. Richard does not appear in the 1841 or 1851 census.
