Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Dent family of Coventry
« on: Saturday 08 February 14 09:30 GMT (UK)  »
Browyn,
I have been scouring the South Australian newspapers for DENT family pre 1910 or so.
Most of my findings are found at
 
http://trove.nla.gov.au/list?id=4133

but I am still trying to untangle it. There are a couple of death notices for the original immigrants.

I have checked the SA state library website at
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1840Orleana.htm
and there was a "DENT, William and wife, 3 sons, daughter (Ann Eliza?)"
aboard with my "BEASLEY, Joseph and wife, son", definitely on THEIR Orleana.

I have not seen their handwritten copies recently but trust their web information and so believe they came out together.

According to the same web site,
William Owen Kitchener DENT with wife Ellenor and 6 children arrived as cabin passengers on the "John"  arrive 05 Feb 1840
http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1840John.htm

I have not been able to access the originals of the Adelaide 1841 census but according to the CD for the census DENT William of Ann street Hindmarsh had 1male (m) under 7 (U7),
2 m U14, 1 m U50; 1 f U7, 1 f U50.
Thus 2 parents and 4 children.

Hello,
I am researching the descendants of Joseph BEESLEY in South Australia and have found two William DENTs migrating early to SA: in 1839 and 1840.

DENT William Owen Kitchener, Eleanor (nee ROBERTS?), Wm, Joseph Hetherington, John Mazeppa, Nathaniel, Sarah Jane, Ann Eliza arrived 1840-02-05 on John (1) from London 1839-09-12 [Source:1,6,7,IGI]
DENT William, wife, 3 sons, dau arrived 1840-06-10 on Orleana from London 1840-02-29 [Source:2,7,20,23(6)]

Joseph (brother of an Eleanor BEASLEY, father Joseph, chr 24 Oct 1808) migrated to SA. He arrived Port Adelaide on the Orleana in June 1840 with his wife and their young son Joseph. This is my family.
I think the two siblings Joseph and Eleanor emigrated together, so the DENT family should only have 4 children on arrival.
They also settled 800 meters from each other, in Hindmarsh and Thebarton.

The family arriving in 1839 had the more children and seemed to live further down the coast.
I will add more info. as I get it.
