I am putting this posting under Durham because it's the only county I can identify with from the information I have
Francis William Kent born c.1888, father William, married Evelyn Orwin born c.1891, father Charles.
Marriage recorded as 21 March 1914 in Sedgefield Volume 10a, Page 272.
I have the pedigree for Evelyn but having problems with Francis and finding him in census returns from 1891 onwards, which, hopefully would give his parent names. I wonder if a fresh pair of eyes could help me, please.

Just to rule one out..
Looking at births for Francis Willam Kent around 1888, the nearest, date wise, is one 1889 in Pewsey Wiltshire.
However that guy can be seen on censuses with a father called Thomas.
-
What are the Occp's of Francis and his Father William from the M/C?
Have you looked for a Frank Kent, Father William in Census?
-

Was about to post info below when your info came through Rosie, looks interesting!
Another possible;
1891/1901/1911 Census has a William Kent c 1890 born Jarrow, Durham
With Parents William/Catherine and Siblings.
-
That does look promising Trish ;D
Gerry could you please gives us full details from the marriage certificate in respect of Francis & his father, also who were the witnesses
Rosie
-
Yours looks good also but he was older than he claimed at Marriage.
Gerry may not actually have the Cert as the info is on F/S.Org.
-
Many thanks for all your replies and from them there appears to be no definitive Francis William Kent in the census for 1891, 1901 or 1911. The only detail I have on Francis is the marriage details taken from 'Find my Past' (not the marriage certificate) which shows his father's name but not the occupations of father and son.
Perhaps the only way forward is to obtain the full marriage certificate
On a better note I see Rosie has a Springer? The one on my posting is Molly
-
Yes I think the actual M/C is the way to go.
-
Have you found either of them in the 1939 register :-\
My 'horror' is a Cocker who is curled up on his chair at the moment. He wakes up when we want to relax and watch tv ::)
-
Thanks for the suggestion Rosie but I don't have access to the 1939 register. I could try this when next in my local library.

I have tried finding the family using the free search in the hope that it threw a light on the couple. :'(
Do you know where Evelyn died
-
An online tree has Evelyn dying in Cirencester RD in 1984 - buried at South Cerney
The tree also suggests it is the Cirencester Francis Wm but no evidence that I can see
-
Francis William Kent was born in Cirencester 1883. name on birth certificate Francis William K Bradley. Mother Annie Bradley. He married in Durham to Eveline Orwin 1914. He died in Cirencester 1945.

Welcome to RootsChat Rosemary and I hope you found this link to the Kent family helpful. The aim of my research was to find Irene Maria Kent born 1911 in Bursledon, Southampton plus her parents and siblings. Thanks to help on RootsChat I found the information i wanted.
Good luck with your research
