Prentiss family

Vicky Prentiss, a member of the Prentiss family, in 1916.

The Prentiss family was a British family of which Vicky Prentiss was part. Family members included:

• Sir Peregrine Prentiss - Diplomat
• Lady Prentiss - Suffragette
• Vicky Prentiss – Bus fare collector
• Vicky Prentiss' brother - World War I officer

The Prentisses traveled a lot as a result of Peregrine's job and was very involved in the suffrage movement due to Lady Prentiss' influence, particularly the East London Federation of Suffragettes. American Indiana Jones, a future archaeologist, attempted to marry into the family following a whirlwind romance with Vicky in 1916 while passing through the United Kingdom to enlist in the Great War, but Vicky turned him down over uncertainties about their future together and a wedding's threat to her career prospects. Although Jones was initially angry at being rejected, they eventually parted ways on more amicable terms and, despite decades apart, were thrilled by a chance reunion in their twilight years.

Behind the scenes

An attempt to finally make Indiana Jones part of the Prentiss family was championed by Old Indy bookends actor George Hall, who proposed a two-hour series finale for The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in which Vicky Prentiss and Indy would marry after their long-awaited reunion in the closing scenes of "London, May 1916".
