I'm posting this on several sites because I haven't been able to find a good source for information.  My family had 4 rugby league players 3 generations who were part of the early beginnings of rugby league and the formation of wigan rugby league club.  Their names were John, Elijah, Jack and Frank Prescott and possibly Thomas.  I would love to know more about their playing careers.  Jack is the only one I know anything about, a flyhalf and great goal kicker he captained a winning side when he played for Warrington.  The others I know very little about other than I have a clock presented to John Prescott in 1910 for services to Wigan Rugby club.  Anyone know of a good history site?

Hi - try to search for Tom through Australian rugby league archives. The TROVE had his obituary

@duckweed

might want to get out this direction - Tom Prescott moved to Australia and with a love still for Wigan.
