Durham / Re: Dent Family of Romaldkirk
« on: Tuesday 01 February 11 19:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
A Canadian Dent descendant here.
I have Hannah Dent, christened 7 Jan. 1798, Romaldkirk, dau. of Thomas Dent and Mary Hall (I think this is the same as yours, Dan?), married James Ireland. I also descend from Mary Dent, daughter of James Dent and ?, christened 05 Jan 1707 in Middleton-in-Teesdale -- who married another Ireland.
A lot of interrelated families from this general area (Bowes/Romaldkirk) but with links as far west as Carlisle, Penrith, etc. (names include Dent, Gastell, Ireland, Feddon, Best, Raine) moved to Ontario, Canada, between 1819 and 1835.
This is Joseph Ireland's house:

His paternal grandmother was Mary Dent.
Best,
A.J.
