Seeking info on parents of Richard Gent. His siblings were Sarah, Thomas & John. He later married Martha Watson and they moved to North Cove, Suffolk.

Hello Carol:  Yes, I am still searching for more Gents most of whom came from Norfolk and Suffolk and later from Wolverton and London.The earliest that is documented is a Thomas Gent born around 1711.My grandfather, Levi Arthur Gent born 1885 disappeared after the 1911 census. His son was also named Levi Arthur and died in 1962.
Good luck with your research.

Hello vilma.
Thanks for your reply,the onlyRichard Gent I have died 1797 in terrington St clements,and I have got stuck at William Gent who married Mary Bates in 1796 also TSC. So I don't know if we are connected. I am now having trouble moving on. All my lot are farmers, and all called William. There were a lot of Mariners in Norfolk. Grateful for any info.
Good luck!
