Durham / Re: Dent Family of Romaldkirk

I think when we found Mary's family we looked for Charles too, without success.  That said, I don't remember finding any Dents, in the Marrick registers.  Given your recollections in perfectly possible we may have missed the Dents due to looking for them at the end of a tiring day at the records office, or some other distraction...

I have a Henry Dent, Baptised May 18th 1812 in Arkengathdale, North Yorkshire.  His younger brother Thomas was baptised there on November 15th the following year.

There parents were Charles Dent and Mary Garthwaite.  I can trace Mary's family back several generations as they seemed to be settled in the village of Marrick.

I know nothing of Charles, however.  The trail is completely cold.  I know there were a lot of Dents in Romaldkirk, so I've often wondered if that's where he came from.

Although I know what became of Henry and his family I have no idea what became of Charles and Mary following their children's baptisms.
