I have been able to trace my family tree back to 1811 to my ggg grandfather Richard Prentice.

He was born in 1820 and I am now trying to trace his father Joseph born c 1780. All of them were born around Rawreth, Rettenden and Good Easter. As I now live in Hertfordshire I am unable to get to Chelmsford very easily and wondered if any of your readers were able to help me with my research. I know who Richard was married to,and he had a brother William, but their father remains a real mystery. Is there anyone who can help me.

I will be eternally grateful for any help. Thanking you in advance. You can contact me at maria.prentice@ntlworld.com
