I was born in South Shields in the noerth east of england.My father's name was Thomas Arthur PRESCOTT Hicklin.it was the Prescott mentioned in your posting that drew my attention.
I never knew my grandfather and I am told that his family may have come from somewhere nr Mansfield.He was seemingly the black sheep of the family who ran away to sea and was disowned.I seem to remember some talk of his father having been a Fire officer and maybe even Mayor of Mansfield at some point.
If there does seem to be a connect i would be grateful of any info you could enlighten me with
