Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Samuel Gent /? bpt in Bulwell 1790's

Hi John,
Samuel and his family were tenants to the Duke of Rutland and I wonder if he shipped Samuel in from another of his estates to run the ones in Cambridgeshire.  Unfortunately the Duke of Rutland's archives are not available to look at.  My aunt Molly was convinced Samuel was born in Derbyshire not Nottinghamshire.  Mining began in earnest around the beginning of the 1800s and lots of farmers were thrown off their land to make way for the mines.
As soon as I get my Francis Barnett Merlin motorcycle on the road, I'm going to make an effort to crack this once and for all.
Regards
Merlin

I am also searching for the parents of Samuel Gent as he is my GG Grandfather via Thomas Gent & Mary Hood; Arthur Gent & Winifred Johnson and Donald Gent & Ethel Hobson.
