Samuel Gent /? bpt in Bulwell 1790's
« on: Tuesday 18 August 09 13:23 UTC (UK) »
I have been trying to find the baptismal record of Samuel Gent, who according to the 1851-71 censuses was born between 1793-96 in Selston.

The Selston PR shows no Samuel Gent/Ghent  bpt for this period, but a likely couple William Gent & Elizabeth Stout/Stant married in Bulwell in 1784 but had 2 children bpt in Selston, Edward in 1784 & Mary in 1788.

So my question is there any record of them having a son Samuel bpt in Bulwell ( or possibly Hucknall Torkard) in the 1790's.

Thanks

Hi

I have a Jane Gent who got married in Selston in 1830. There is no trace of her on the NFHS CDs. Selston do not have their records on these CDs.

Selston St Helens is a Norman Church. So I suppose they got BMD there but they are not on the web. Looks like a trip to the archives. I have just checked your profile but you do not say where you are!

Hi John ,

My 4x Gt.Aunt was Elisabeth Stout , but sadly none of the other descendants have supplied any children for them.
Your marriage date tallies with my 27/12/1784.

Perhaps you might look at the surname interests on here . Sometimes you can be lucky

Thanks Jane & Spring, The reason I think possibly William & Elizabeth nee Stout were the parents of my Samuel Gent is based solely on the fact his eldest son was William born 1818, which addmittedly is not much to go on.

Samuel married in 1817 in Woodditton, Cambridgeshire and seems to have been an overseer for the Duke of Rutland there, which suggests he came from a farming family. As to his naming his birth place as Selston,I now suspect he lived there as a child but was infact baptised somewhere else.

Unfortunately as I live in the USA ,  I mostly am reliant on info I can find on-line, I wish Northants. record office on-line service had more info, as does the Norfolk & Essex ones .

Thanks again
John
