Kent family from New Ross Ireland

[OZMUM60]

Am doing some research in the Kent family from New Ross.  Mary Josephine Kent married David Harper, parents were John and Elizabeth Kent (nee byrne). John's family were Jane (nee Burr) and John Kent, then Simon and Helen Kent.

Welcome to Rootschat 😀

Do you have any dates, what decade?

Yes we have a couple of generations during the 1800s.  My grandmother was Mary Josephine Kent born in 1907, her parents were John and Elizabeth Kent.  He was born in Bombay, India in 1881, Elizabeth was born in 1880 in Dublin - not sure who her parents were.  Her maiden name was Byrne.  John's parents were John (New Ross in 1843) and Jane Kent (nee Burr) 1855 - not sure where she was born or the names of other siblings.  John's parents were Simon and Helen Kent.  I have no further information.  Am visiting New Ross soon and know that the name is common in this area.

Is this the family in 1911? John and rest of family born Dublin-
