Talk:John Prentice (footballer, born 1898)

Date of birth
I'm not sure where the 1898 year has come from. According to census data at scotlandspeople.gov.uk, only three people named John Hunter Prentice were born between 1890 and 1910: one in 1894 in Partick, one in 1896 in Eastwood, and one in 1900 in Renfrew. According to both Dykes (1994) and Joyce (2004), this John Prentice was born in Glasgow "circa 1900", which I believe more likely points to the one born in Renfrew, which isn't too far from Glasgow and more closely matches the year of birth given in those sources. However, Eastwood is a suburb of Glasgow and 1896 is close enough to 1900 for "circa 1900" to be an accurate description. Can anyone lend any credence to either of these, or even provide some source for him being born in 1898? – PeeJay 22:13, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
