 Good Evening Maggie,

This is the only info on Charles Stent of England.

Charles Stent was born about  1819 in England. He was 20 when he arrived in Wellington, New Zealand 1841. I have the passenger list.
Algernon  Tollemache of Ham House sponsored Charles out to NZ.
There is a little book called:
The 1841 Emigrants from Ham to New Zealand Sponsored by Algernon Tollemache of Ham House. Date 2003 from Richmond England by E Pritchard.
Another one: The Seven Servants from Ham. Just names, NO ages, Birth dates etc.
 
Charles death Certificate  says

Parents:  F. Charles Stent
              M Harriet Stent,  maiden name unknown. lived 50 yrs in NZ
I have been through every county of England  micro fiche, BDMs and No Charles & Harriet Stent.
Charles died in 1891 in New Zealand.
Would be great to get through this brick wall.


I have Georgiana's burial  15th April 1865 Surrey England aged 66. Also Camberwell London.

John Baptist  bap 8th June 1783 Godalming, Surrey. John Died March 1/4 1853  Alverstoke, Hampshire.
Johns parents: William Stent & Eliz.

Hope you can make sense of this.

Cheers

Hello Tweedie.
I asked the question on here and was given this info from Trish.
Charles Stent born 1819, Bognor Regis Arun District, West Sussex. Died 21 Feb 1891. Still nothing about his parents but will keep trying.
Regards
Maggie

Hi Tweedie.
Is it possible that Harriet could be the middle name of his mother? Could she have been Harriet something or something Harriet? Does it quite clearly state "Harriet" on the death cert and who was the informant of his death? We can't find a marriage for Charles and Harriet. Hetty? Hattie? Could it have been  second marriage? I found a Charles Stent 10 March 1793 born Sussex but he married Sarah Cooper who died 1848. Do you know when his father died?
Have you tried the National Archives in London?
We will keep trying for you.
Regards
Maggie

 Morning Maggie,

Trish sent me the 1841 census awhile ago. Was looking to see if Harriet may have had a Charles,  and why she was Head of Household, her husband was away or she was a widow. The 1851 census was when Georgiana H Stent came up as head of household. 
I did find John B Stent on the 1841 census. He is in Alverstoke, Hampshire, his residence was Royal Hospital at Haslar.

The informant on Charles death certificate was his son James Stent. Could James have got Charles parents wrong!!

I did contact Ham House to see if they had any information, they put me on to a kind gentleman who had a look.  He sent me a scanned copy of the pages out of the first book I mentioned. Just where Charles Stent was mentioned.

Our Research Centre is closed at the moment for renovations till the end of the year.

Good morning Tweedie.
Well this is about a bad as my brickwall!! lol. I have Charles Stent senior born 10 March 1793 Coldwaltham Sussex. 1841 census and D.O.B index Fittleworth, Pulborough West Sussex. Parents George (spelt Georg) and Mary. Charles junior born 1819  West Sussex. Maybe "Harriet" was "Sarah Harriet"  and she was known by her middle name. I'm going to see if I can find the children of Charles and Sarah. It's worth a try.
