Great information - much appreciated. I am also trying to find out the period of time the Dent family occupied the Hall and if they were tenant farmers (note sure on this one) - or who may have owned the property around this time - any suggestions for further search areas to look would be great.

Many thanks.

Kendal record office may hold property sale or transfer papers for Barwise Hall.   As it still exists maybe contacting the current owners might help as they may have access to the deeds?

My Gandfather was Cyril Sisson of Temple Sowerby who married Vera Maude Hawkins.  I am wondering who your partner is as I only know of 2 daughters that he had, my mother and her sister (and he also had two stepdaughters). He had a son from a previous marriage.  I am very curious and am wondering if you know of his son, whose name I think begins with M.  Any info would be great.  I have pictures of my Grandfather if you think this is the same Cyril Sisson.  When he was alive he visited Temple Sowerby quite often to see relatives.

Hi Propolis,
I was just wondering if you had verified who the father of your William Dent is? If he is the same William Dent as mine whose father was Joseph Dent b1800 and mother was Mary Kersey.
