Hi
I understand how you want to go to the churchyard just to stand there and feel how it was. I have relatives who came from there as well. Daniel Comery died in 1781 and was buried there and his family also.
I hope you have a fruitful journey. Although I live in Nottingham and have worked within half a mile I have not been to the churchyard yet. There is lots of information about old Bulwell on the internet if you need help contact me.
Jane

Can I just warn you Jane the Graveyard is extensive and rather rough ground. I did not find any of the ones I was looking for but did not get all the way round.
I have had an email from Fr. Andy Nicolls from the church and they are hoping during the Summer to record each grave and get the information on a database, I have asked him to let me know if they get it done.
We were actually rather disappointed as there was nowhere open other than Pubs, Supermarkets and bookies. I was also expecting Bulwell to be a Villiage and it was more like a town.
Then to top it all we get home and my husbands stairlift has stopped working!!! waiting for someone to come and see to it.

Hi Christine
I am amazed you didn't find any as there are 62 Gents listed on NFHS burial CD for Bulwell St Mary.
The following article on Bulwell mentions John Gent being recommended to be the first postmaster and George Gent was lame with a woooden leg.
http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/mellorsarticles/bulwell1.htm
Also this one
http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/bulwell/victorianbulwell.htm
Also the old school:
http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/whatnall1928/bulwell_grammar.htm
And lots of articles listed under Bulwell:
http://broxtowehundred.co.uk/menu.htm#n
For the BMDs press ctrl and f and a little box will pop up. Type in Gent and it will go through the list highlighting each one in turn.
I hope these help.
Jane

Thank you for the websites Jane they are really helpfull, on the BMD's I have found some information I did not have and I have only been on Baptisms and not got through them yet.
I did not get far round the Graveyard as it is a bit rough and I am disabled but hopefully if the do get the records of the gravestones in a data I will be able to get information from that.
I do have the Baptism, Marriage and Death Vier V3 cd's from Nottinghamshire FHS but haven't had chance to study them properly yet.
Thank you for your help
Christine

Hi
If you do go back and happen to spot George Gent 1825-1867 - (wife Ruth died 1863) I would be interested. He is great grandfather of Edith on the left.
Don't go out of your way, though
Thanks, Tricia
