No help with Prudence I'm afraid, but have you seen the IGI entry for the birth of a Henry Meldrum 2 Jul 1831, baptised 25 Oct 1831 to parents Robert & Elizabeth. This was at Corn Market Chapel in Sunderland.

Think I might had got it. Checked out births of Prudences in Sunderland and found a Prudence Miller baptised 2 Dec 1836. Her parents were William Miller and Isabella MELDRUM. Looks like Henry may have married his cousin! Batch number is P002801.

There's an Isabella Meldrum ch. 16 Apr 1799 in Malling Riggs, Sunderland. I think there's an error in the transcription of her parent's as her Dad is Ann Meldrum and her Mum is Mary. Alice ch. 11 May 1804 appears to be Isabella's sister. Parents John and Mary. Prudence's Mum was Isabella.

Someone on records office board has Durham 1851/61 and will do lookups, he did one for me a few days ago. Might be able to find you more children for Henry and prudence.
