PRENTICE.... DRUMBEE ARMAGH

[sharonsanders66]

Hi.  I'm currently in the process of researching my ancestors. My father recently passed away.  His name was William John Robert Prentice (born 1928). His Mother's name was Mary Elizabeth Prentice (Thompson) (born 1900) and his father name was John Prentice (born 1878) I know my Dad had siblings who were older than him but do not have any information other than this.  Any information would very much appreciated. 

Thankyou......Sharonx

His Mother's name was Mary Elizabeth Prentice (Thompson) (born 1900)........   

Is this your grandmother in the 1911 Irish census?

If so, this is her birth record in 1900 (Mary Eliza).       #292
