Ghent/ Gent at Averham Nottinghamshire

[red3]

Hi
I have a Joseph GHENT (sometimes GENT) married to Sarah  married sometime before 1826.
I can not find a marrriage record for this couple.

I have a Newspaper record Nottingham Review and General Advertiser 6 Dec 1839
At Averham on Monday evening aged 33 years Sarah the belovered wife of Mr Ghent leaving a family of 9 children to lament their loss.

For children I have.
Baptism records St Michael and all Angels at Averham
1. Martha 1831
2.Elizabeth 1833
3.John 1835
4.Aaron Nov 1839 Twin died 1840
5. Moses Nov 1839 twin died 1840

Then from the 1841 UK census
6. Ann 1826
7.Joseph 1829 (on UK census 71,81,91 birth place listed as HAVERSHAM) Then in 1911 AVERHAM
                     I can not work out where Haversham parish is??
8. William1837
Can not find where these 3 were baptised. 

Is anyone able to spot the 9th child? Thinking maybe the eldest child?

Joseph remarries to Ann SNAITH 29 June1840
Lincolnshire chronicle 3 July 1840
At Averham near Newark on Monday last Mr Joseph Gent to Widow Snaith. (Mary Ann)

Joseph remarries 1860 to Elizabeth GIBSON


Thanks for any help.

Sarah's maiden name was Doughty as per GRO maiden name search on Moses birth

Hi, Joseph was my Great Grandfather x 3.

According to my Mum, locally they pronounce Averham as "Airham".

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Adrain
Joseph Gent is my 4x gr grandfather.  My mother is a Gent.  We come off the William Gent (1837) to Sarah Allen line.

Who do you have as Joseph's parents?

A possibility...

16-9-1808 John Cullen son of Willm & Mary Gent

Marriage Morton
19-7-1802 William Gent and Mary Cullen... so if the parents of Joseph, they only just managed to get the marriage in before the baptism!

I have William and Mary as his Parents.

Hi Larkspur
Thank you will have a search around and see what I can come up with.

I have spotted the William Ghent to Mary Cullen but they do not quite match up with the family I appear to be following.

The Baptisms at Rolleston look like a strong possibity.
