Title: GENT Bulwell Nottinghamshre
Post by: custard_pot on Wednesday 30 August 06 22:47 BST (UK)
I am hoping someone can help me get further with this family. I do have quite a bit but I want to do an in depth research on this family. The bits concerning Nottingham are

John Gent c 1794 Bulwell Nottingham
Ann Stafford c1794 Nottingham

Their children were

Thomas Gent c1814 Bulwell Nottingham
Jacob Stafford Gent 1826 Bulwell Nottingham
Henry Gent 1828 Bulwell Nottingham
Eliza Gent 1830 Bulwell Nottingham
Samuel Gent 1832 Bulwell Nottingham

Jacob married Anne Alsop born 1830 Clowne Derbyshire, they married 1849.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Christine

Thanks for the Email.  Just managed to find my Gent lot but really need to go to bed now.

I don't recognise those names I'm afraid.


I have got back as far as William Gent born 1806 Bulwell but don't know a thing his past or even his wife's name. My Gent line is descended from his son George born 1825 Bulwell who married Ruth Everley.

There may well be a link between your John and my William but reckon it would take a trip to the Parish Records to find out.

I live in Surrey now and have no relatives left in Nottinghamshire since my brother died so no longer visit up there. I think I have a wad of notes somewhere that I will try and find just in case something is noted on there.

Any help would be appreciated - do you need help to trace John's ancestry or help on the various census since 1841 - I can obviously help with the latter.

Will come back to this tomorrow

http://www.aros.net/~chefdave092053/british/nottinghamparishes/Bulwell.html

Thanks for that bearkat! it usefully tells us that the 1812 marriage was by licence and the University of Nottingham has some marriage bonds and allegations online.

If you go to

http://longford.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Roles&dsqCmd=NottSearchForm.tcl

and search Stafford, Ann in the name field, their marriage is the first entry up. You can look for yourself but it says that Ann's father was Jacob Stafford and she was 19 at the time of marriage. So we have a birth approx for Ann of about 1792-1794 from the marriage and burial records.

There are a couple of baptisms that might interest you, although I can't see Ann.

20/05/1791 John Stafford to Jacob and Elisabeth, Bulwell
26/09/1796 Sarah Stafford to Jacob and Elisth, Bulwell

There is a marriage at Bulwell 06/08/1789 of Jacob Stafford and Elizabeth Walker.

Interestingly 06/07/1808 Nottingham St Mary, a Jacob Stafford married a Martha Walker and they had at least two children in Bulwell.

James 29/07/1809
John 11/02/1821

Son or second marriage do you think?

And I've just noticed that on Ann's 1812 marriage, the first proxy was George walker, blacksmith of Bulwell. I think we're along the right lines here  ;)

Quite a lot of Stafford burials at Bulwell, but I've picked out some that seem relevant.

07/11/1829 Jacob Stafford age 66
06/08/1805 Elisabeth, wife of Jacob, no age given
27/05/1800 John, son of Jacob, no age given
26/09/1852 Martha age 70

First of all thank you all very much for your replies.  :)

Tricia: I have census returns for Jacob Stafford Gent up to 1841 but none for John Gent.

I am after any information I can get on this family. It is my Husband's family on his Dad's side. I was carer for my Husband's Dad until he died in 2004 and he was a better Dad to me than my own Dad was so I want to do an in depth research to find everything I can about the family.

I am now my Husband's carer.

To Heather B: the first list of names you gave me does it give the Mother and Father as John & Ann.

I got the cristenings of from IGI records from Mormon site but I dismissed some of the list because the parents were listed as John & Anne and I thought they were different people but I know someone on Genes Reunited has put them in his tree. What do you think???

Then looking at 1841 census you sent it looks right and they are their children. Everything you have sent looks as if it fits in thank you very much.

Hi again Christine,

I think you were absolutely right to be cautious (and notice I only said "possible" baptisms myself!), but on balance I suspect it's just the one couple.

If you'd like to send me a personal mail with your email address, I will send you the baptisms exactly as transcribed.

Hi Christine

This looks like John with son Samuel on the 1861. Although age is a bit out there don't seem to be any other Samuel's born Bulwell

1861

Town Street Bulwell age 76 Widower

John Gent 76 Widower Framework Knitter(Silk) b Bulwell - Blind
Samuel Gent son  24 Glove Maker Silk b bulwell

Just in case anyone else looks at this entry they have been transcribed as living with another family. This is not correct as there is a double slash on the image indicating a seperate property.


My Gents were also Glove Makers

Hi Christine - forgot to mention - one of my Gents married a Bowskill as you can see by the picture of my Aunt.

Re your Email:If it is ok with you can we leave the Bowskills until we have sorted out your Gents.  Do you have any more information about your Bowskill connection - is there any one you can ask about them? The one you mentioned only has birthplace of Nottinghamshire - can you be more specific. Having said that the Bowskill family is huge and many are connected and have been extensively researched by a colleague. So we should strike lucky

Haven't picked up Samuel on the 1881 site. Perhaps you could have a look yourself  Update- found in 1881 with the Bexons in a later posting

There is a death registration for a Samuel Gent
Qrt ending June 1882 Basford age 49. Vol 7b Page 93

There is another Samuel Gent of same age dying in Basford 1898 but he appears to be born Selston and is with his wife in Pinxton on the 1871 1881 and 1891 so he isn't your death registration.


No issue from young Sam, then - that we know :'(

Hi Tricia sorry not replied before have been busy looking at those websites and had district nurse in for my husband.

Thank you for those census bits looks right to me and gives me more to do some searching.

As for the Bowskills yes it is ok to leave until we get the Gent's sorted. There is no one I can ask but I did have a connection on Genes Reunited that also had Gent's and Bowskill/Bouskill in their tree but did not know where the connection came in. Mine are spelt Bouskill but on census 1891 and 1881 it is spelt Bowskill and that other than 1901 is the only census I have found them on.

I will do some more searching on the Gent's thank you very much

I can't find any sight of Henry and James on the census after 1851 when they are at home.

However I did find these entries on Notts Burial Index

Henry Gent 8/12/1859 Bulwell
Age 31

James Gent 31/3/1857 Bulwell
Age 32


This is really disappointing as all my Gents except George also died young. Well - George's mum and 2 siblings. From what I can remember these deaths were round about the same time and the cause of death was consumption for all of them so wouldn't be surprised if that is what James and Henry had.

Yes I know makesyou wonder when you see all these young Gent's what gets me more is like Edwin Gent's first wife Martha Richardson born c1845 died 1881 and under her in the register is a Female Gent 0 years. So it looks as if Martha died in childbirth.

Hello Heather - could I have your opinion, please :)

These are the only Thomas' I can find in Bulwell

1841  Thomas Gent b 1821 single
1851 born 1819 single
1861 b 1815 married to Mary age 34 no children
1871 b1817 widowed


I would say that these are all the same person but don't have access to the births that you do.

What do you think? Would value your opinion

Yet again, very disappointing as there are no children and I thought my Gents were the only ones a bit thin on the ground!

We'll try one of the Girls

Eliza Gent born 1830/31 is last seen on the 1851 census at home(re Heather's posting).

There is no Eliza Gent b 1830/1 Bulwell on the 1861 census.
There is an Eliza Smith born 1831 Bulwell living Bulwell and is the only possible match. She is married to William Smith.

On the Notts Marriage Index we have a marriage of Eliza Gent to William Smith 21/10/1852 Bulwell

On the 1861 census she is living next door to dad John Gent and brother Samuel Gent as seen in my previous posting

I have just noticed that John Gent on the 1861 is recorded as Blind -will add that to the previous posting

Look at this - we had them all the time in 1871 and brother Samuel is with them. I do like Jig Saw Puzzles ;D Why couldn't he be recorded as Brother :-\

And that Ann Bexon will turn out to be the daughter, I expect. No other children for William and Eliza though.

Do you want me to chase up the Bexon family?

That's ok Christine - that's why I come on this site - to help people, hopefully :).

Now a little mystery. I think that Ann Smith was illegitimate because I can only find a marriage between James Bexon and Ann Gent  Qrt ending December 1868 Basford 7b 165.

Bexon isn't that common a name I reckon so these must be your people.

Eliza Smith does not appear on the 1881 census.

There are 2 death references in Bulwell. One is for Eliza Smith born 1831 registered in 1873 Bulwell. The other is for Elizabeth Smith born 1831 registered 1873

As Eliza always appeared as Eliza I would think the first one is correct. Don't know if you will be sending for certs but this is the reference

William Smith is a bit more tricky. Can't see a William Smith born 1828 Bulwell on the 1881 census.

What I can see is a William Smith born 1828 Nottinghamhire

Boarding at 29 Bridge Street, Derby Derbyshire with lots of other Boarders. He is an umbrella Maker.

Can't verify that this is your man, though.

Can't trace whereabouts of Eliza Ann Bexon in 1901

There is a marriage reference for Eliza Ann Bexon qrt ending December 1889 Basford 7b 208

The 2 possible spouses are Harry Hooks and John William West but can't match these up in 1901. There is an Eliza A West with a John but birthplace is Lenton Notts :-\

If you are keen to find out you would have to send for the marriage cert.

Well, they give cause of death and informant and that can be quite revealing I think.

I have never bought a death cert for verification - by the time I am at that stage I know who they are and want to know how they died.

For instance I was quite upset to discover one of my line(not Gent or Bowskill) in an asylum recorded as a lunatic - quite distressing.

When I received the death cert it said that he died from an epileptic fit in the asylum. Although horrible this was quite a relief as there was no other way of looking after epileptics at the time.  He must have had a dreadful life and died in his 30's. I found his wife and child - my great grandfather - in lodgings near the asylum.  At least she stayed nearby.

Bit perplexed by the 1841 posting. There are 2 Eliza's and 1 Elizabeth in the family.By 1851 there is just one Eliza.

Girls are often tricky to sort out unless they have unusual names and there must be other Gents with the same first names in Bulwell :-\

1851 born 1819 single
1861 b 1815 married to Mary age 34 no children
1871 b1817 widowed



Sorry Tricia, I wasn't ignoring you on purpose  ;D The thread moved so fast I missed it!

Well our Thomas 1814 is the only baptism showing on the Bulwell transcriptions, so it's hopeful. Possible marriage Mansfield St Peter 05/11/1860 to Mary Kerswell Hoskin. Not sure when i'll get to the Archives next but I can put it on my "to do" list!

Thanks, Heather.

There's only the one showing up on the census but wanted to be sure.

Thought you might miss it so I went back and highlighted the first line ;D

Christine hopes we will have a connection. I am pretty sure we will because I should think all the Gents in Bulwell were related.

The only way is to prove that her John Gent and my William Gent(1806) were related so if you spot anything we would be really grateful.

I have been trying to find sites that do BMD before 1837 other than IGI but there are not many are there.

Yes I noticed that on the 1841 seemed a bit strange unless the youngest one is really a grandchild.

I got a death certificate for my grandmother to try and get some information and hopefully her date of birth but it does not even do that.

Hi Tricia

Sorry I did not get back on last night. The Grandmother I am looking for seems impossible to find. I know very little about her. The things I know for definate is her name and her Fathers name which are.

Sarah Jeffery c1887, I think born in Devon and by 1901 census that we think is right born in Ilfracombe.

Thomas Jeffery c1867 (Bridport- this is from 1901census)

The only other things I have been told is that she had a brother called Tom and a sister named Susan but I believe there were more than that.

1901 census

Thomas W Jeffery c1867 Bridport, Head
Sarah Jeffery c1867 Exeter, Wife
Alice Jeffery c1884 Exeter, Dau
William Jeffery c1886 Tavistock, Son
Sarah Jeffery c1887 Ilfracombe, Dau
Nellie Jeffery c1890 Exeter, Dau
Susan Jeffery c1893 Bristol, Dau
Thomas Jeffery c1896 Plymouth, Son
Mary Jeffery c1900 Stonehouse, Dau
William Jeffery c1822 Bridport, Father

I seent for Mary birth certificate to get Mother's maiden name and it is Trim, but can't find marriage for Thomas and her.

I have both myGrandmother's wedding certificates thats how I found her Father's name. He was a Foreman in HM dockyard on them.

Her first marriage was in 1911 in Exeter and the second in 1916 in East Stonehouse Plymouth.

I cannot find her birth and I can't find herFather on any other census other than 1901 and possibly 1891.

There are a few people that have tried with this and can't get any further.

Good morning, Christine

I'll have a little play with this but have to go to work shortly so if I disappear, don't worry, I'll be back later on.

Does your Grandmother have a middle name?

I think I have found the entry on 1891 that you have found.

We mustn't assume that Mary's mother is your Grandmother's mother or that everything is recorded correctly on the 1891 entry. I think that is the family

I'll post those 1891 details and then will have easy reference to it

1891

Cottage South Brent

Thomas Jeffery Head  28 Tunnel Miner(Plate) Birthplace difficult to read but looks as though Devon as been dittoed from previous entry(transcribed as Somerset - I would take issue with that) ;D
Susan Jeffery wife 26 b Brixham Devon
Allice Jeffery dau 6 b Exeter
William Jeffery son 3  b Tavistock
Sarah W(M)? Jeffery 1 b 
William Jeffery Father 70 Widower Tunnel Miner

Sarah and father William transcribed as Exeter but the entry is very faded

RG12/ 1713 Folio 15 Page 24.

Just as an aside I go down to South Brent quite regularly with friends for walikg trips over the moors

Sorry Tricia I was seeing to my Husband he needed my help to get washed and dressed and I had to tidy up.

That is the 1891 census and even though there are a couple of things different than the 1901 it is the only one that looks anything like right.

My Grandmother as far as I know did not have a middle name. It does not appear on any certificates I have and no one I have asked don't know of a middle name.

If you notice on that 1891 the Wife's name is Susan and on the 1901 it is Sarah.

Sorry for the delay in answering.

Yes I did notice - hence my comments about Sarah and Mary maybe not having same mum. Alternatively  it could just be an error on the 1891.  Sometimes the enumerator's can't read their own writing when copying the collected information over.

I'll spend a bit of time on this

Here is that 1861 Bowskill entry as promised


1861

Seymour's Cottages, Staveley, Derbyshire

John Bouskil Head  43 Coal miner born Mansfield Nottinghamshire
Hannah Bouskil wife  50 b Clarborough,Nottinghamshire
John Bouskil son 14  Coal miner born Calow Derbyshire
George Bouskil son,13 Coal miner, b Redford Nottinghamshire
Charles Bouskil son 11 Coal miner b Redford Nottinghamshire   
Betsey Bouskil dau 7 b Whitwell Derbyshire 
Elizabeth Bouskil Mother 78, Widow Annuitant b Mansfield Notts   

 RG9/2535 Folio 92 Page 20.

Redford could be Retford

So, from practically nothing we now have Jack's/John's father and his father's mother

Also his father and grandmother were born in Mansfield and I haven't yet met a Bowskill that came from there and wasn't related. I'll try and show that at a later date because it will take a time to sort through my Bowskill stuff.

Tricia ;D

John Bowskin Lodger 33 Mar Quarryman b Mansfield Notts

1851

Elizabeth Bowskill 69 Wife b. Mansfield
Pheobe Story 28 Dau b. Nottinghamshire
Stephen Story 27 Son in law Farm Lab b. Whitwell Derbyshire
George Story 4 Gnd Son b. Whitwell

This is 1841 I found but I am not sure as ages are different but Samuel is a Ag Lab which fits in with 1851.
