Hi Margaret Firstly, according to FreeBMD John Prater married Elizabeth Meers in 1844 rather than the 1864 which you put in your email. John (aged 31) and Elizabeth are to be found in 1851 in Egg Buckland, Plympton St Mary, together with 3 children. And in 1841 John (aged 20) is also in Egg Buckland, together with his father John (aged "50"), an ag lab, and mother Elizabeth (aged "55"), and siblings William ("15") and Elizabeth (10). All of them were born in Devon. The mother probably died in 1849. The father was a widower and a labourer in Granby Street, Plymouth in 1851, born in Plympton; he probably died in 1864, so you should also find the father in the 1861 census. I haven't looked, but you might be able to trace all the births through Family Search. And you should be able to find John junior and his siblings in other censuses and/or in FreeBMD (marriage, death).

Hi Margaret According to a transcription provided to FMP by the DFHS a John PRATER married an Elizabeth DESTING on the 9 November 1810 at Egg Buckland. Could be his parents found in the 1841 census below? There is also a baptism on FMP for a John PRATER on the 22 February 1818 at Bickleigh Parish (near Plymouth) parents were John (a laborer) & Elizabeth of Egg Buckland. I didn't find any other baptisms for PRATERs at Bickleigh but there are others at Egg Buckland. Also on FMP John PRATER was apprenticed on 2nd February 1830, aged 12 years, (son of) John & Elizabeth PRATER of Egg Buckland to Thomas BRIGGS, yeoman of Egg Buckland till 21 years of age.
