I cannot find any of them on the earlier censuses!
For reference, this is the extra information from that 1881 census
Household Members: Name Age John Prescott 55 Ellen Prescott 51 b.ca 1830, Burscough Robert Prescott 17 b.ca 1864, Burscough Martha Prescott 15 b.ca 1866, Burscough Esther Prescott 12 b.ca 1869, Worsley Elizabeth Prescott 9 b.ca 1872, Worsley
I have tried all christian names with Prescot*, and without surname
I have tried Prescot* without forenames, father John
I have tried birth years +/- 5, Lancashire, father John ........... Bursc* only brings up the 1881 census
I have tried birth years, living Lancashire, Bursc* or Worsl*
I have tried forenames + Prescot*, birth years +/- 5, born anywhere in the UK
Nada!

I think the clue is in his job>> Water boatman, perhaps they were all at sea?

This could be them in 1861.

John, Ellen and children Ann 10, and Jane 4mths are actually the only ones on the page on board Vessel called Ellen. This looks like the birth reg of Jane.
