I also tried accessing the files via www.archive.org and had no luck - the files wouldn't open, but I found I could access them through http://www.dustydocs.com/county/2/scotland/167/midlothian.html. Go figure. :)

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Re: Caroline Ward and Captain Henry Kent

John KENT (abt 1758 – 1827) m. Sarah CARLILE (1759 – 1803), daughter of William CARLILE & Robina CROSSE. They had the following children:
Robena (abt 1782 – 1866) M. William ELLISON (Lieutenant, R.N.)
Mary (died young)
Bartholomew (1785 – 1841) m. Penelope Percival KENT (daughter of Henry KENT, Commander of his Majesty’s ship Dover)
William George Carlile (abt 1786 – 1871) m. Susan Elizabeth RANKIN
Mary (abt 1788 - ?) m. Stephen PRENDERGAST (Captain 84th Regiment)
John (abt 1790 – 1816)
Henry (abt 1791 – 1873) m. Eliza KENT (daughter of William KENT, R.N.)
Isabella (? – 1854)
Sarah Thomson ( - 1852) m. Thomas Clinton SHIELLS
Helen (1797 – 1881) m. Joseph COPPOCK (Navy Agent)


As you can see there were quite a few in the Royal Navy.
Robina CROSSE remarried after the death of William, to my 5 great grandfather Peter WRIGHT. He was a physician and for some time was a surgeon in the R.N.
William George Carlile KENT was once court martialed by none other than Captain William BLIGH.
John KENT’s brothers were William (daughter Eliza married Henry) & Henry (daughter Penelope Percival married Bartholomew).
It makes it very confusing when first cousins keep marrying each other!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the very quick response.

Henry KENT died 12 June 1873 at 12 Regent's Terrace, Heavitree, Devoinshire.

I've done a brief check on the info I have about Eliza, wondering where I had got the name of her father. Well, I found it in a death notice for her in 'Trewman's Exeter Flying Post or Plymouth & Cornish  Advertiser'.
"September 25, at Budleigh Salterton, Devon, ELIZA, widow of Captain HENRY KENT, R.N. (late of Bellevue, Jamaica), and daughter of Capt. WILLIAM KENT, R.N., in her 90th year."

I know that Henry and Eliza were cousins of sorts, but at the moment I can't remember how.

Their youngest daughter, Euphemia, was born at Port Royal, Jamaica in 1837.

I think the Eliza KENT Linda refers to (the one married to Captain William KENT) is the next genration back. Captain William & Eliza being the parents of the Eliza KENT who married Henry KENT.
I really wish they would intermarry and have the same names...it would make things so much easier! :)

I'll see what else I can find in amongst mystuff as not all of it has made it into my genealogy program yet.

Hi Tony, Linda & Steve,

My 2nd cousin 4 times removed was Henry KENT (abt 1826 - 1921) who married Caroline WARD. Henry had 3 siblings - Mary Carlile, Hunter & Euphemia Alexandrina Victoria.  His parents were Captain Henry KENT, R.N. (abt 1791 - 1873) & Eliza KENT. Eliza's father was Captain William KENT, R.N. (sorry have no record of her mother). Captain Henry KENT's parents were John KENT & Sarah CARLILE. John KENT was the steward of the Royal Navy Hospital, Stonehouse Devon.
I am descended from Sarah CARLILE's mother.
John & Sarah had several other children. All 4 sons were in the Royal Navy - Bartholomew, William Carlile George, John & Henry.

I have more detailed information on this family if it is of interest/use and I would love to know what the letter said from Mary Carlile to her brother.
