Hello Tony and all, not trying to usurp your posting, but I thought it was VERY interesting that I have a Fairless/Dent marriage in my tree!!    Specifically, Robert Fairless b. 1865 married Christine Annette Dixon DENT in 1890 in Newcastle-on-Tyne. I have names and dates of their children and other ancestral information, if you are interested.  Pat

Thanks a lot for that. As ever I have a few additional question:

Can I quote the book as the source or just say the information came from you?

Can you confirm any of the following marriages from the book?

Jane Dent abt 1773 and Miles Maddison in 1803 at Stanhope
Jacob Dent 1769 and Elizabeh Bowman 1792  at Stanhope – both of this parish
Rebecca Dent 1785 and John Heatherington in 1807 at Stanhope
John Dent 1802 and Hannah Muschamp in 1825 at Stanhope - my direct ancestors
Thomas Dent 1804 and Frances Phillipson in 1833 at St. John’s Chapel
William Dent 1806 and Jane Walton in 1829 at Stanhope


Thanks again

Hello Pat

More the merrier from my position. Do you know the parents of Robert Fairless b. 1865 or Christine Annette Dixon Dent?

Tony

Hello Tony, Robert Fairless was chr 16 July 1865 at St Nicholas Cathedral, Newcastle on Tyne, NBL; his parents were John Fairless and Margaret Collinson.  Christine Annette Dixon DENT's Father is Charles Dent, b abt 1832 in Ripon, Yorkshire. (they can be found in 1881 census, but Christine's Mother isn't listed -- only an "other" woman and her Brother.....Almost all of my Fairlesses of that time frame were stone masons. Let me know if you need any additional information...I will be out of town for a few days so don't give up on me.    Pat

This appears at the front of the Durham Dent book: "This life history has been researched and produced for Dent Family use only and is not to be reproduced in part or whole by other persons."

I understand this to mean that if you are part of the Dent Family, it is OK to use it.

The authors of the book were John Lionel Krempin and William Thomas Dent 4th. I would acknowledge them.

Those other marriages you enquired about are not mentioned. The book concentrates on the Mark Dent and Sarah Hann dynasty as it developed into Australia.

If I can help in any other way, please ask.

A bit of a think required here to establish the family relationship !!

My wife was born Jennifer Johnson,
Her father was Ken Johnson.                                                 
His mother was born Florence Gertrude Dent.                         
Her father was born Thomas Fairless Dent.
His father was Mark Dent born 16/11/1816                               
Mark was the youngest brother of the John born 9/10/1802.   

Therefore, you and my wife are related.
Her Thomas Fairless Dent arrived in Australia in 1866 on the ship "Racehorse."

I had Thomas Fairless Dent in my tee, but knew nothing else about him apart from that he went to Australia.
