Norman had 2 sons older than Frank Cyril - Norman Frederick bc.1886 and Harold bc.1890.
Norman Frederick married a Rosalie Clement Martin 1910 Birkenhead and a son Norman Hector born 1910 - in April 1910 Norman Frederick went to Sydney, NSW, Australia followed by wife and son in 1916 where a dau. born 1918 and another son Henry Arthur Reginald b.1920. So, 2 grandsons of Norman Faulkner were in NSW and any descendents of these 2 are to be found in Australia.
Harold married an Ethel Ann Hunt in 1915 and they had 3 daughters and 2 sons - Stephen F. 1917-2001 (who in turn married 1945 and had a daughter 1951 and a son 1954 in Northallerton, Yorks - names easily found on Birth Index - cannot name as still living) and a John W.born 1925 (can find nothing on him other than birth entry).
The son born 1954 married in Durham in 1979 - 2 sons and a daughter. This family living in Durham on current UK census.
So, there are indeed a few male descendents of Norman Faulkner Bent around in England and Australia.

Hello Annette, I have just read your post and I realise it is some time since you posted but I have only recently returned to my research into the Bent family.
I am a granddaughter of Norman Frederick. His daughter Esme was my mother. She passed away 4 years ago.
There are a few of us here in Australia descended from the line of Norman Faulkner and Emily Bent.
My brother and I are, of course, no longer 'Bents' as our mother became 'Howarth'.
Norman Frederick did indeed also have 2 sons - Norman Hector (who was born in Birkenhead before his mother, Rosalie, joined Norman in Sydney). They had a son, Michael (still living) and a daughter Rosalie (who was from a second marriage) and also still living. The younger son, Arthur, had one daughter and 2 sons - all still living.
Both Norman Hector and Arthur are deceased (Arthur was killed in the Granville train accident in Sydney in 1977). I would be happy to supply any further information.
Regards, Rosalie (yes another one!)
